This punch is perfect for a spring party. I loved it so much, I created the Rhubarb Punch Cocktail recipe below.
Rhubarb Punch
“Florence made this punch every year for the Hollis Anna Keyes Powers Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) annual meeting and potluck supper.” Carolyn Gargasz
Cook 2 pounds of cut up rhubarb in 5 cups of water until mushy. Press through sieve. Measure juice. To each cup, add 1/3 cup of sugar and stir until dissolved: boil 2 minutes.
Add, for each cup:
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup lemon juice
Just before serving, add 1 quart of ginger ale plus ice cubes or an ice ring.
