Kim's Rocky Mountain Fever Water

[Constance]

This is my husband's recipe for a punch with "punch"

Kim's Rocky Mountain Fever Water

INGREDIENTS:
1.75 liter cheap Rum
1.75 liter cheaper Vodka
1.5 gallons orange juice
3 lbs. sugar (or to taste)
1 small bottle Grenadine
6 oranges, sliced
2 large jars Maraschino Cherries

DIRECTIONS:
Fill a 5 gallon container with ice...a round cooler with a spigot is perfect. Add all the ingredients and stir with a ball bat or hoe handle. Let age at least 5 minutes. Be sure to provide a long handled ladle to scoop out the cherries and oranges.

*Note* You may add other fruit, such as Pineapple slices or Mangos, if you wish.

If you have some left over, it keeps fine in the fridge, or you can store it indefinately in the freezer. It won't freeze solid, but makes nice slush.

this is my favorite part, Connie. I'm thinking of that big orange-and-white cooler HH and his roommates used to set up in the kitchen with "party punch".

they measured the success of their parties by how sticky the floor was the next morning.
