From the Editor

Dear Readers,

As the year 2005 draws to a close, I would like to offer you my personal recipe for this holiday season. It is for the famous Grenadine Punch à la Alice which should make you sail right through to the next year.

(for two persons):
1 red-cheeked pomegranate
2 tbsp. lime juice
1/2 cup squeezed orange juice
1/3 cup brown rum
1 jigger of angostura
4 tbsp. crushed ice

Halve the pomegranate and squeeze the juice out. Pour into cocktail glass. Add orange and lime juice, rum and angostura. Stir thoroughly. Put two tbsp. of crushed ice per portion into cocktail glass and pour the punch over it. Garnish the rim of each glass with an orange peel and a slice of lime and lemon.

Season's Greetings,
Christoph Meran
