The always popular parade punch inspired me to search out and tweak recipes for traditional purple, green, and gold libations. I found several interesting recipes at www.cooks.com I definitely tweaked each recipe to make it my own. The alcohol of choice for each is VODKA. I used my newest Carnival must-haves, the large drink dispensers, purchased for $19.98 each at Sam’s. Score!!!
