This week has been incredibly busy and also fairly productive for all of us. Weeks like this call for a treat at the end of the week, and this week’s THIRSTY THURSDAY is the perfect treat for adults AND kids!
The weather here has been gorgeous and unseasonably warm, so as much as I cannot wait to make some hot apple cider or some cool hot cocoa recipes, it just isn’t time. However, when I saw this recipe on allrecipes.com, I was thrilled that there was a refreshing beverage for this time of year.
Apple Orchard Punch
1 32 oz bottle of apple juice
1 12 oz can of frozen cranberry juice
1 cup orange juice
2 liters ginger ale (or sparkling wine for the grownups)
1 apple or pear
In a large punch bowl or pitcher mix ingredients. Garnish with apple slices.
I served this wonderful punch in Mason jars with lots of ice on the back patio, soaking in the last of this warm weather. The kids LOVE it! I cannot wait to surprise them with some on Friday after school, maybe with a pumpkin cookie to celebrate all we accomplished this week!

Remind me never to invite you to my house with all the red Solo cups and frozen appetizers. I'm so lame. You on the other hand? Not so much.
Not lame! Don't not invite me over. I want to come.
