Recipes

DEAR HOST AND HOSTESS

This Party Hearty Recipe Guide was designed for you! You care about making all your guests comfortable, both those who drink alcohol and those who do not.
You care about creating the kind of climate, when you entertain, that encourages those who drink moderately and supports those who abstain. The information below will give you ideas on being a good host or hostess and recipes for tasty and snappy non-alcoholic drinks.

People are often uncomforatble at parties where they feel pressure to drink alcohol. The mere absence of interesting non-alcoholic alternatives can contribute to this pressure.

One third of the population does not drink alcohol. Some simply prefer other drinks. Some have physical conditions which prohibit their use of alcohol. They may have, for example, diabetes, digestive disorders, cadiac or kidney conditions, or alcoholism. In addition, many people would prefer to alternate their alcohol intake with non-alcoholic beverages, particulary if they are thirsty or the party is a long one.

Our non-alcoholic recipes provide for all these people.

We sincerely hope that our ideas will help you to plan parties which are fun for you and for your guests.

Have loads of fun --- And we want you around for a long, long, time, so be party-wise.

Tips and Hints

Estimate Servings:

• Most recipes are indicated as to the number of servings. For punch recipes, a serving is about 4 ounces in punch cups and about 8 ounces in a tall glass with ice.

Glassware:

• Use beautiful glassware and goblets when possible. A drink tastes even better in a beautiful glass.

Punch Bowl:

• The punch bowl should always be cooled before pouring in chilled ingredients, or warmed before hot ingredients.

Skewer Sticks:

• On a straw or stick put pineapple chunks, cherries, strawberries, melon balls, grapes and other fruits. String them on the straws.

Ice Adds Flavor:

• Ice cubes may be made out of the fruit juices so as to not dilute the punch when melting. Orange or lemon juice sweetened or not sweetened, depending on the ingredients of the punch, usually blends well with most beverages.

Ice Beauty:

• For beauty and uniqueness, add an assortment of fruits in an ice ring. Fill the mold half full, add fruit sparsely separated. When set, fill and finish freezing. Ice cubes may be done the same way, putting one piece of fruit in each cube.
