FROZEN CRANBERRY PUNCH



Frozen Cranberry Punch image

This is good for holiday get-togethers. The original recipe used vodka instead of the gin I used, but I think it would also be good for a non-alcholic punch by skipping the liquor all together and adding 2 cups ginger ale. Cooking time is minimum freezing time. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (November 1981)
