Christmas Libations for Little Elves
Please make the children's table festive! I watched a little munchkin’s face fall last holiday when she realized she was relegated to the “children’s table.”
I make it the focal point of my own decorating, and invite you to consider the possiblities!
Here are some festive drink recipes for the little elves at your celebration.
Choose festive ware and garnish. Any drink with whipped cream, you can put sprinkles atop, candied fruit, cinnamon candies, Christmas “picks,” drizzle with (non-alcoholic) crème de menthe for color, shaved colored chocolate, a Candy kiss.
Tie a red bow with an evergreen sprig on the punch ladle; surround the base with greens and sugared cranberries or toy ornaments.
If it’s hot, stick in a cinnamon stick or candy cane; dollop with whipped cream and garnish with sprinkles, cinnamon candies, confectioner’s sugar; add a holiday "pick"; stick a sparkler in each mug and light at presentation time.
If it’s cold, use decorated ice cubes – freeze cranberries, tiny ornaments, mint leaves, anything festive and NON-POISONOUS into the cubes and add at presentation time. (Remember that holly berries and all parts of the mistletoe are poisonous); or freeze the same things in an ice mold. You can have great fun with floating ice rings for punch for the kids - put in ornaments, cherries, greenery, anything you can make hygienic-enough and that isn't poisonous!
Whatever you serve, serve it with festive flare, and give it a holiday name! There's no more appreciative audience when you go the extra mile.

SNOWMAN PUNCH
