Cool-Kool-Aid ...This is great for kids parties! 1 pkg. Kool-Aid, grape
1 pkg. Kool-Aid, orange
2 C. Sugar
3 qt. water
1 lt. ginger ale
I boil a small amount of the water and mix the Kool-Aid and sugar in
that so they dissolve better. Add the rest of the water and refrigerate
until the party is to start. Add the ginger ale to the Kool-Aid mixture
and serve! This makes about 8-10 servings. You can even freeze some of
the Kool-Aid mixture in molds to float on the top.
Egg Nog ... This will truly warm the spirit!!! 1 doz. large eggs
1 lb. sugar
1 qt. blended whiskey
1 pt. rum
1 pt. brandy
3 qt.. milk
2 nutmegs
whipping cream
In electric mixer bowl, beat eggs for 15 minutes. Gradually add sugar.
Beat 5 more minutes. Pour into large container. Add whiskey, rum, brandy,
milk and grated nutmeg. Stir until well blended. Store in glass container.
When serving, garnish with whipped cream and an additional dash of nutmeg.
(Liquor may be cut in half to suit taste.)
Grape Wine Mash fruit. Add equal parts of water and let stand 24 hours. Strain
with cheese cloth. Add 1 cup of sugar to each quart of juice that you have.
Stir and dissolve sugar. Pour in wooden jug (I use Deer Park water jugs).
Cover loosely with cheese cloth for 24 hours. Pour in bottles and let stand
2 months (I again use Deer Park water jugs and use unlubricated condoms
to prevent explosion). Strain and bottle again. The sweeter the grapes,
the better the wine. If you use white grapes it will make a very dry wine.
