Sans Souci Punch Recipes

SANS SOUCI PUNCH

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, stir together juice, ginger ale, rum, and sweet and sour mix. On a plate, mix sugar and nutmeg. Wet the rims of each serving glass with an orange wedge. Press the rims into sugar-nutmeg mixture. Serve drinks over ice and garnish with remaining orange wedges.

SUNNY'S ROSEMARY MAPLE BOURBON PUNCH

Steps:

• For the punch: Add the maple syrup and rosemary to a small pot. Let steep over low heat for 20 minutes, then let cool. Remove the rosemary and pour the maple syrup into a pitcher. Add the apple cider, bourbon and lemon juice. Whisk to combine.
• To serve: Serve punch over ice with rosemary stalks and apple slices as garnish.

BEER PUNCH

Steps:

• In a bowl add the strawberries, blueberries, sugar, grenadine, and lime juice. Stir to dissolve as much sugar as possible. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring a couple of times to agitate and help create juices.
• When ready to serve, divide the mixture among 4 low ball glasses. Pour 6 ounces beer into each glass and give a gentle stir. Drink!

BACON BARK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To prepare the nuts: In a small bowl, add the pecans, walnuts, brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, paprika and a pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of pepper. Stir until everything is coated and set aside.
• To prepare the bacon: In another small bowl, add the brown sugar, paprika, bacon, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of pepper. Spread out on a nonstick baking sheet and cook until the bacon is almost done and the sugars are bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the nut mixture on to the sheet. Stir and fold with a spatula and spread everything out on the sheet again. Place back in the oven for 15 more minutes, stirring and spreading again halfway through. Serve warm, or allow to cool and break apart.
