Getting reviews...

Open any Southern junior league cookbook and you are guaranteed to come across at least five variations of fruit punch. I personally feel it's high time for this retro drink to make a comeback. My version uses pure cranberry juice to add a tart fall flavor, while the frozen cranberries do double duty to keep the drink cold and look pretty as a garnish. Polish your best silver punch bowl if you've got one and don't hesitate to be liberal with the libations. It's the Southern way!
