With the holiday party season upon us, we’d like to offer hosts and hostesses some mocktail (non-alcoholic cocktails) ideas as an option for their guests.

Candy Cane Punch

1/4 cup lemon juice
16-ounce can orange juice concentrate

1/4 cup sugar
1 egg white
6 hard peppermint candies
4 peppermint candy canes
Ginger ale

Put all ingredients except candy canes and ginger ale in blender. Blenduntil candies liquefy. Divide evenly between 4 tall glasses and top with ginger ale. Stir gently to mix; serve with candy canes as stirrers.
