sparkling pomegranate juice

This exists?! Why don't I have some right now?

sthayashi December 22 2009, 19:25:05 UTC

Yes please.

I think I have most of the ingredients to make that first one. Just need to get the pomegranate juice. Maybe some extra grenadine too since I don't know if I have a full cup.

IT IS BLISSFUL AWESOME.

Apple Pie Drink

1 gallon apple cider
1 gallon apple juice
1 1/2 cups of white sugar
6 cinnamon sticks
750 mL Everclear Alcohol (70-90 proof)

Pour cider, juice and sugar in XL pot. Add cinnamon sticks. Slowly bring to boil on medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, discard cinnamon sticks. Allow to cool to room temp completely then stir in alcohol, store in containers and refrigerate. Serve as shots, chilled.

Note: Bringing to a boil may take a while depending on burner temp, pot size (if you are making full batch) and cooling time usually equals a few hours. After made you can store in fridge for up to a year. Shake well before serving. I recommend making 1/2 batch unless you have a huge pot, then make it all :)

Yup, that's what I thought it was!

You forgot a critical part of the recipe, though. It must be stored in canning jars for that special, Redneck charm! And, actually, if you can it properly, meaning it's heat-sealed, you can store it anywhere almost indefinitely.

You can also use it to clean amputated limbs in the field hospital after the Battle of Gettysburg.

lawsontl December 23 2009, 21:37:12 UTC

Or as paint stripper.

I kind of like the old standby of rum and eggnog. At some point I want to try making my own eggnog, but I've never been brave enough.

amand_r December 23 2009, 01:44:49 UTC

THIS SHOULD BE THE YEAR. WE SHOULD TRY. RIGHT WHEN THEY STOP SELLING IT IN STORES AND WE ARE GOING INTO WITHDRAWAL.

amonitrate December 23 2009, 01:45:54 UTC

GOOD PLAN. I MEANT TO GET SOME TODAY AND FORGOT BUT I DO HAVE RUM. SADLY NOG-LESS RUM. I hope there is some left on Thursday. Nog, not rum. There's lots of rum.

amand_r December 23 2009, 01:50:02 UTC

TELL ME WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF RUM, SO I CAN GO, "BUT WHY IS THE RUM GONE?!"
