Erie Witch's Brew Recipe

Serves 20

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups Cranberry juice
  • 1 cup ginger
  • 3 orange
  • 12 oz Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate
  • 6 oz Frozen Limeade concentrate
  • 2 cups grapes
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 gal. Ginger Ale


    Instructions:

    In a big pan, bring 1 cup of cranberry juice and candied ginger to a boil, keep it uncovered, about 2 minutes, set aside. With a vegetable peeler, pare peel from oranges (colored part only) to make long shreds. Add orange peel to cranberry mixture. Cover and chill at least 4-5 hours. Put orange juice in heavy bowl. Stir in cranberry-ginger mixture, the 3 cups cranberry juice, apple concentrate, limeade, grapes and water. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2 hours. Add ginger ale and about a 1 pound piece of dry ice (DO NOT put small pieces in punch or cups): ice should smolder at least 30 minutes. Ladle into cups. Add any remaining ice when bubbling ceases.
