A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

ingredients
1 bottle (40 ounce size) grape juice, chilled
1 can (48 ounce size) unsweetened pineapple juice, chilled
1 bottle (2 liter size) lemon-lime soda, chilled
1 bottle (750 ml size) vodka, or more, to taste
2 oranges or lemons
2 limes
directions
Fill a Bundt pan 1 1/2 inches full of grape juice. Place in the freezer until frozen (about 4-6 hours or overnight).
Remove the Bundt pan from the freezer and let it melt just enough to remove the ice from the pan. Place the ice ring in the bottom of a large punch bowl.
Add the remaining grape juice, pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda, and vodka to the punch bowl. Gently stir to mix.
Thinly slice the oranges and limes and float them on top of the punch. Serve the punch (about 1/2 cup per serving) in small decorative cups.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
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.

I didn't make this for mardi gras but rather for a party at a club we belong to. It was cool how it layered but it mixed up kinda easily. Very tasty and not too potent.
