A.J. Rathbun, senior editor of Amazon.com, happens to be an ace in mixing drinks. He created this wonderful concoction, perfect for large gatherings. Ready your friends and your punch bowl before you savor this cool creation.

Ingredients:

• 4 oz Cointreau
• 4 oz brandy
• large chunks of ice
• 2 bottles of champagne
• 2 oranges – wedges
• 1 cup of cranberries

Materials:

• punch bowl
• ladle
• glasses

Procedure:

1. Put some ice in the punch bowl until it is half-filled.
2. Pour in the brandy and the Cointreau. Mix the two until they are blended.
3. Once done, place the orange wedges, the cranberries and the champagne in the bowl.
4. Stir the bowl’s contents for a dozen times.
5. Wait for one or two minutes, which is enough time for the ingredients to blend naturally, before serving.

This recipe serves 10 people, so better bring a haul of friends and acquaintances when you plan to create the drink. You should also be watchful with the amount of glasses you have downed. The punch is a terrible “traitor.”
