Rum Punch

You and your friends can have a ball for Christmas or the Mardi Gras Lenten season with a bowl of this punch. Remember to drink responsibly so you can pass some more good times. Use Mardi Gras colors (yellow, green and gold) and add purple toothpicks on the limes to make it more festive and in tune for that Mardi Gras celebration. Recipe from a recipe box newspaper clipping from The Daily Review, Morgan City, LA, December 10, 1975.
