Have you ever noticed that get-togethers seem to come in spurts?  We moved into our current house this past December and we only had a few people come over until recently.  For the past month we have had get- togethers and friends coming over every weekend!  Since I knew I would be entertaining quite a bit I prepared by buying a few bottles of Canada Dry Ginger Ale® to have on hand for easy punches.  I like to make things special when people come to visit, but I try to keep things simple so that I can enjoy the company too.   I use things around the house to decorate with and easy recipes that don’t take much time.

When I went to buy the Canada Dry Ginger Ale® this past shopping trip to Walmart I noticed that they had a new flavor to try… Canada Dry Blackberry Ginger Ale®!  It sounded so good that I knew I had to try it in a punch recipe.

I made the Blackberry Slush Punch using a mixture of Canada Dry Ginger Ale® and the Canada Dry Blackberry Ginger Ale®.

I decided that the punch would taste great with an ice ring and so I used a mixture of Strawberries and Blackberries to make a slushy ice ring.

What is nice about the berries and ice ring is that I can make it ahead and just pop it out of the mold when I am ready to serve the punch.  We poured the Canada Dry Ginger Ale® and Canada Dry Blackberry Ginger Ale® over the ice ring and served after stirring it a little bit to get it to a slushy consistency.

An easy idea for a decoration is to take 5-7  pint Mason Jars and wrap a ribbon around them in a cluster.  Add water just to the bottom of the rim and add a floating votive to each one.  Add flowers around the bottom of the jars loosely and light the candles.

Such a pretty and simple decoration!
