So ... here's a little something to try for the season. Spike or not, as you will, to get through the Hollydaze.
Santa Punch
1 pint cranberry juice cocktail, chilled
2 cups cold water
1 6 oz can frozen orange juice, undiluted
14 oz. ginger ale, chilled
Combine cranberry juice, orange concentrate, and water. Just before serving, add ice. Pour soda down side of bowl.
Why punch? Because that's what I want(ed) to do when I went to my local drugstore to buy holiday spice drops for the recipe I wanted to try for today AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THEM! How can it be the holidays without spice drops? Oh, I know ... because now they have to carry every single M&M, Mars product, or Hersey product in holiday wrapping, flavors, or assorted mix bags like it's Halloween.
No traditional old-fashioned candies? Another reason why I'm a Grinch this season.

what is a spice drop? Are those the gum drops that are shaped like little bells?
