Cheers! Purple, Green, & Gold Punch.....

The always popular parade punch inspired me to search out and tweak recipes for traditional purple, green, and gold libations.

I found several interesting recipes at www.cooks.com

I definitely tweaked each recipe to make it my own. The alcohol of choice for each is VODKA.

I used my newest Carnival must-haves, the large drink dispensers, purchased for $19.98 each at Sam’s. Score!!!
