]]>A classic holiday punch is the way to go if you have a lot of guests to serve. Why not make it even easier this holiday season by using one of Lieutenant Blender's favorites, the Peach Bellini Wine Freezer! This punch is sure to help put your guests in the holiday spirit without breaking the bank or causing you to break a sweat.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 4-5 hours
(not including the decorative ice mould)
1 bag Lt Blender’s Peach Bellini Wine Freezer
1 bottle of either Chablis, Pinot Grigio, Prosecco
1 lb of citrus fruit, sliced in discs or frozen peaches
½ cup Orange Liqueur
½ cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of ground cardamon
Create fancy ice cubes by using silicon cup mold or a metal cake pans. Slice up any type of fruit you’d like to add to the punch, add to the mold, cover with water and freeze. Citrus, mint leaves or cranberries give them a festive touch. You can also use regular ice cubes.
If you plan to serve the punch in individual glasses, decorate them with a cardamom/sugar rim:
And there you have Lieutenant Blender's solution to easy entertaining with our Peachy Holiday Punch.
Happy Holidays!
]]>During the Lieutenant's travels he fell in love with the mulled wine commonly served in Europe during the winter season. Typically this drink is served after skiing or at the famed Christmas Markets under the name Gluehwein. “Gluehen” means to glow which might refer to the temperature of the wine or the faces of the drinkers. It's a lot like hot apple cider but with red wine instead.
We might not get a lot of snow in Galveston Texas, but the cloves, cinnamon, red wine and glowing faces that come with the mulled wine are sure to keep everyone warm through the winter.
Prep time: 15 minutes
1 bag of Lt. Blender Mulled Wine Wine Freezer
1 bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon or Burgundy
2 oranges
cinnamon sticks
Mix up the Mulled Wine Wine Freezer according to instruction on the bag with wine and water.
Pour the mixture into a pot and heat it until it is warm, but does not boil. You can also use a crock pot to keep the mixture warm.
Cut the oranges in disks and add them to the mixture, making sure that each serving get a slice in the glass. Serve with a cinnamon stick “stirrer”.

If you're looking for something a bit slushier, mix up according to the instructions and throw in the freezer for one of our signature slushy cocktails.
]]>For all non-pie fans who need a little pick-me-up after a holiday meal, the Lieutenant's Mudslide is the perfect solution. Made with Chocolate, Coffee, and a few adult spirits, it's one that will keep the party going a bit longer in to the night.
