Happy Birthday to Kim!  Punches are a delicious and festive alternative for us non-bartenders ;)

 Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice  (100% Juice!  No added sugar)
• 1 cup pear juice  (100% Juice!  No added sugar)
• 1/4 cup Grand Marnier (or other orange-flavored liquer)
• 1 750 ml bottle Champagne or sparkling wine
• Ice for serving

Tools:

• Large pitcher
• Measuring cup
• Mixing spoon
• Glasses

Prep Tips

• Kim, a licensed bartender, informed me that if you are adding JUICE to a mixed drink or punch...use 100% juice; no added sugar!  Doing so prevents overly-sweet drinks AND hangovers!

Step-by-Step

1. Pour pomegranate juice, pear juice, and Grand Marnier into the pitcher.  Stir to combine.
2. SLOWLY pour the Champagne into the pitcher.  Give it a gentle stir.
3. Serve punch over ice.  Cheers!
