Cosmo Blanc Punch

Ingredients

1 liter vodka
1/2 liter Saint Germain Elderflower Liqueur (available at Astor Wines & Spirits)
1/4 liter fresh lime juice
1/2 liter white cranberry juice

Optional Garnish
12 edible orchid blossoms
app. 4 cups of water

Instructions

Begin by preparing the garnish, a decorative block of ice with edible flowers frozen in its center. Use any bowl that is about half the size of your punch bowl and which will also fit in your freezer. Add the orchid blossoms and cover them with water, using at least 4 cups. Place in the freezer for 24 hours or until completely frozen. Un-mold when ready to use.

In large clear punch bowl or other decorative bowl, combine all the cocktail ingredients and refrigerate for up to three hours. A clear glass or crystal bowl is suggested. Place the decorative floral ice block in the punch and serve. (Published 2008)
