in Getting Pregnant
I'm turning 40 next month (gasp!) and we're throwing a 1920s/Great Gatsby themed party.

I'm looking for a fun punch recipe. I'd like to use champagne or gin.  I'd also like it to not be too sweet.

Anyone have a tried and true recipe to share?

    Close fist - swing arm at face of annoying person - drink champagne to celebrate victory!

    ^Probably not what you meant.

    This sounds delicious though:

    1920s Speakeasy Champagne Punch

    Ingredients:

    • 3 peeled Oranges
    • 3 cups Brewed Red Tea
    • 1 bottle White Wine
    • 1 cup Dark Rum
    • 2 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 tsp Orange extract
    • 1/2 Cup Rum
    • 3 bottles Champagne

    Directions:

    1. Slice oranges horizontally (hold the orange so would naturally separate into vertical slices, then slice it the other way). Place in a bowl and put in the freezer as you prepare the rest.
    2. In a large bowl, combine red tea, white wine, rum, and sugar and mix well.
    3. Add Champagne and Orange slices just before serving (or before guests arrive).
    4. We dumped about 5 cups of ice into the bowl, just to keep it nice and chilly!

    1 bottle champagne
    1 cup peach vodka

    Easy peasy. It's technically a sangria, but delish. You could also use different flavors of vodka if you prefer.
