Thomas/Bob, based on those potent ingredients and your experimentations I am
surprised that you both have the vision necessary to type anymore.
This was great reading and will archive this recipe to my favorites folder.
Cheers!
Steve

OK. Here‘s my personal recipe for Artillery Punch.
You start with a solid non alcoholic base. Mostly for color and
texture. Hawaiian Punch or other red tropical fruit punch,
cranberry/raspberry juice, and finally raspberry ginger ale. Mix.
There‘s a danger the base will be flat so feel free to use the raspberry
ginger ale to bring a strong bubbly flavor to it.
Now add a quart of Vodka, three bottles of champaign or other
sparkling white wine, and last but not least a quart of grain alcohol,
known here in the States as "Everclear". BTW: any clear liquor can be
used in place of the vodka, such as Puerto Rican Rum or Gin.
Because of the inclusion of the last ingredient, "Everclear", it is
advisable Noting well that there are several members of the Law
Enforcement community, on this list that a supply of the nonalcoholic
base be left for the designated drivers, pregnant women, and recovering
alcoholics, so they too may partake in the toasts!
There is a tradition in the US Field Artillery that any punch, using
cognac be called a "French 75". This alludes to the fact, that the main
gun of the US Army in WW I, was the classic M1897 French 75mm. Feel free
to substitute the champaign with cognac.
I‘ve had to do a lot of experimentation to come up with this.
Take Care, Tom Bisping

The classic "Infantier"..for those about twenty odd years of age and with
unspoiled livers was to hit every "dark" liquor on the bottle stand...ie 2
shots rye, one scotch, one dark rum and if you wanted the VC or
equivalent, a brandy times two, and mix with Coke...well if you could live
through that let alone the morning after, the infantry didn‘t have anything
that would scare you...or was that the "mourning" can‘t quite recall, for
some reason...
For when we pseudo-gentlemen of a Sgt‘s Mess had the opportunity to
entertain our ladies at a Dining In well, we used "Air Force
Punch"...surprisingly, the light blue jobs latched on to a neat recipe...as
a pantie remover, its without equal...
12x 25 oz bottles Canadian rye
1x 25 ox bottle brandy
1x 25 oz bottle dry gin
six oranges, fiv lemons, five limes, sliced thinly
two bottles marascino cherries, destemmed
Optional one or two litres Cranberry Cocktail
Six litres soda water
Amass in a garbage can plasticcleaned or new-preferred
Soak for six to twelve hours now those fruit slices are soppoing with
booze, and really deadly...guess which gender wants them?
Add six litres 7-Up and two litres gingerale, with ice to chill....
Tastes a lot like cream soda...
Press and emove the fruit, bottled it will keep perhaps forever, and age
becomes it....
ahhh..can remember the hangover clearly!!!
Any doubters, ask Don. I‘m not sure he‘ll remember, but Anne will...as will
my wife...which is why she frowns on my suggestion that we make it...
LOL!
John

Can I go back to Borden and pick up my liver? John, that sounds like it
might just kill some of these Californians I have had to "drink" with lately.

It can be tough in the forward trenches...
and remember, for God‘s sake, they‘re 25‘s...don‘t try this with
40‘s...there is some significant hazard to lice and limb, that I‘m NOT
JOKING ABOUT!!!
Aside from that, why not? With a fifty gallon container?
See you tomorrow!
