PHILLY FISH HOUSE PUNCH and PINNACLE POMEGRANATE MARTINI

We recently had friends over for cocktails and I made this Punch, originally served at Apothecary Bar and Lounge, in Philadelphia. It was a tasty, no fuss beverage, and paired well with a range of appetizers.

PHILLY FISH HOUSE PUNCH

3 tablespoons of confectioners sugar
6 1/2 ounces of dark rum (I used gold rum)
4 ounces of brandy
2 ounces of peach schnapps
4 ounces of cold brewed black tea
4 ounces fresh lemon juice
4 ounces of cold water

Mix in a pitcher, cover and refrigerate the punch until cold.
Serve the punch in the pitcher, letting guests pour it into tumblers. Garnish the drinks with orange peels if desired.
Enjoy!

A friend told me about this Pinnacle Whipped vodka - and I couldn't wait to try it!!
It tastes just like whipped cream - but guilt-free!! I found this pomegranate martini on their website and served it at Christmas. It was wonderful, and I have made it several times since.

PINNACLE POMEGRANATE MARTINI

2 ounces of Pinnacle Whipped Vodka
1 ounce of pomegranate juice
1 ounce of lime juice

Shake over ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge if desired.
Enjoy!
