Spring is in the air, and with it brings celebrations, one that is on my list is a graduation party! My son is graduating from college...Cum Laude! I am so proud of him and his accomplishments! Here are a few ideas I am considering, of course they will be alcohol free so I will adapt as needed!
Inspired by a Perfect Manhattan Cocktail!

1 bottle Holland House Manhattan Mix
1 cup Holland House Martini Mix
1 qt bourban
2 bottle (28oz each) gingerale chilled
1 jar (8oz) maraschino cherries, drained
3 lemons, thinly sliced

BLOODY MARY DIP
a tomato-flavored dip that's delicious with crackers, potatoe chips or raw vegetables.
2 envelopes Holland House Bloody Mary Mix
1 pkg (3oz) cream cheese softened
1/2 pint sour cream
1 tbs chopped chives or 1/8 tsp basil or dill

SANGRIA PUNCH
a zesty wine punch with the flavor of a Spanish favorite
4 envelopes Holland House Instand Screwdriver Mix
1 cup water
1 cup Holland House Apricot Sour Mix
1/2 gallon dry red wine (Burgandy or Merlot)*
1 can (16 oz) sliced peaches
peel of large orange, cut in spiral
1 Bottle (28 oz) lemon soda, chilled
dissolve Screwdriver Mix in water in a punch bowl. Stir in Apricot sour Mix, wine and peaches with syrup; add orange peel. Chill. Add soda at serving time; stir lightly.* to make a non alcohol version I would substitute the wine with 1/2 cranberry or grape juice and 1/2 tea.
