I have amassed a rather large collection of wines, champagnes and other grown-up beverages over the years. The funny thing is that I rarely drink. I’ll have a glass of wine from time to time but that is about it.
When we put our condo on the market I packed away most of my collection. I kept a few bottles of wine just in case we have guests over who would like some and some champagne. I am hoping to use the champagne to celebrate the sale of our condo and the purchase of a house. I really hope I get to crack open that bottle soon. I REALLY want to move into a house by the holidays. Sigh…
I have teenagers. Obviously they are not allowed to indulge in champagne. That is why I like to keep sparking fruit juices on hand. I actually enjoy sparkling fruit juice too.
Welch’s sent me a bottle of one of their sparkling juices to try out. I never knew that Welch’s made a sparkling fruit juice too. Now that I know I need to try out all the flavors.
We received the Red Grape variety. My kids loved it. It’s the same sweet and tart Welch’s red grape flavor that we love, but with effervescent and plenty of bubbles to tickle your nose. 🙂
Their sparking fruit juice is available in White Grape, Red Grape, Cranberry and Blueberry Grape. Mmmm! I really want to try Blueberry Grape. I also think that the Cranberry would be the perfect addition to a Thanksgiving dinner or holiday dinner. I’m going to be on the look out for those flavors and have them handy for the holidays. Not everyone drinks, so having sparking juice on hand is a great way to make people feel included in the celebration. It’s also great for designated drinkers who can’t drink.
I would never think to use sparkling fruit to celebrate Halloween. It’s actually not a bad idea.
Welch’s has a fun recipe that I can’t wait to make this Halloween. Not only does it sound good it looks creepy too.
For this recipe you’ll need the following;
2 bottle of Welch’s Sparkling Juice (any flavor)
1 bottle of your favorite Welch’s Fruit Juice (any flavor)
Food Coloring (optional)
Directions:
Add all the juices into a punch bowl. You can add food coloring to give it a creepy look if you want.
For added Halloween rinse out a surgical glove, fill it with water and pop it in the freezer. When it’s turned to ice you can peel off the glove and put the hand shaped ice into the punch bowl with your Welch’s juices. If you can’t get a surgical glove look for other creepy molds (I’ve seen brain molds for geletins) and use that instead. Let your imagination go wild!
If you want to add a bit more of a “gross factor” to it drop in some peeled grapes (“eye balls”) and gummy worms or insects. The kids will love that!
For more information about Welch’s products visit www.Welchs.com. You can also “Like” their Facebook Page and/or follow them on Twitter.
