#tbt Laissez les bon temps rouler {Purple, Green, and Gold Punch}

#tbt...
I always LOVE to share these punch recipes during the Mardi Gras festivities.

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!!!
