Pink Punch a la Zola
Servings: Makes about 3 quarts.
Ingredients:
2 lb of a combo of blackberries, raspberries and cut up strawberries
1.5 cups cranberry juice cocktail
3 Tbl lemon juice
1 Tbl of Truvia
3 cups white wine or champagne (optional)
1-2 qts club soda, (plain, lemon, lime or a combo). If you don’t use the wine/champagne you’ll increase the club soda to the larger amount.
Instructions:
Fill ring mold (any size that fits into punch bowl) with berries of all colors. Barely cover with water; freeze.
Add remaining ingredients except soda or champagne into a large pitcher or container. Stir til Truvia dissolves. Cover and chill two hours or overnight. At serving time, dip ring mold in hot water for ten seconds; remove ice ring. Put into punch bowl. Pour in chilled ingredients mixture. Add soda water and wine/champagne. You don’t want to add this early or it will lose its fizz. Ladle punch into cups. When the mold melts it will give some fruit to eat too.
Don’t go nuts with this even on ZReboot. Each serving will have approximately four to five grams of carbs. For yourself, continue to dilute the drink with more club soda. The cranberry juice is more for the uninformed and the kids who have too much of a sweet tooth. At least this is better than most punches. It will give it flavor and a burst of pink.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
