The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


2 quarts water
3/4 cup instant tea
1 can (6 ounce size) frozen limeade concentrate
1 can (6 ounce size) frozen lemonade concentrate
1 can (6 ounce size) frozen pineapple juice concentrate
2 cups cranberry juice cocktail
2 cups ginger ale
Combine tea and water, stirring until dissolved. Add fruit concentrates and cranberry cocktail. Stir until smooth.
Just before serving, add ginger ale and serve over ice. Garnish with slice of lemon or lime or chunk of pineapple.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This actually turned out very well. I made about 6 gallons of it for a baby shower and received rave reviews. Hints: (1) I used Instant Peach Tea which added flavor and kept it from being tart -- Do NOT use unsweetened tea as it doesn't give you the flavor you're seeking (2) The juice concentrates are easier to work with if they're completely thawed before opening.

The punch was okay. Waaay to tart. It doesn't transfer to another amount very well that might have been what it was. I would give myself enough time to experiment with it before serving and have a back up if it is still too tart.
