St. Patrick's Day Punch

I know the color of this drink isn't very appealing but it's green and that's the point. It was actually really good, a lot better than it looks. It was very refreshing. It was perfect for our all green St. Patrick's Day dinner and I think I'll be making this drink every year.

Spooky Halloween Punch

I made this drink for our Halloween party and it was a huge hit with the kids. They loved the hand floating in the drink. One of the fingers broke but I think it just added to the effect to have a finger floating around. It was so much fun!
