DRINK UP AT PLACESETTING



My favorite thing to serve and to drink at a girls get together (besides wine) is any kind of punch! I once had my book club over and 5 of my guests were pregnant...so I used a recipe for a refreshing punch and named it the "PRENATAL PUNCH"....IF I HAD ONLY HAD THIS DECANTER WHEN I HAD THAT PARTY! What a fabulous dispenser, this is called a 2 part dispenser......because, it lifts to be 2 parts, the bottom part (much like a trifle bowl)can be for decor- you could fill it up with flowers or fruit, and the top part is where 2 gallons of your favorite beverage will be served. The spout, is stainless, and yes, its easy to clean! This is a must for anyone that entertains, a caterer or someone; like me, who just hosted a few girls and wanted to serve a little suprise! Below are a few of my favorite punch recipes!
