"So, drink ideas for your barbecue. I was thinking, yeah, I can get a whole bunch of different pop and worry about if, you know, so and so likes this soda and so and likes this. I'm keeping it real simple. I'm just going to be doing a family-friendly punch. We have kids coming today, so rather than vodka, we're just going to put some sparkling water. I'm going to start with, this is just a can of orange juice actually, that I've mixed to half instead of adding three cans of the water to the frozen can of orange juice, I've added just the one and a half. So it's about at half, double the strength, rather of what it should be. And that's because we're going to be adding the flavorless, diluting it with sparkling water. So two cups, I've got a huge pitcher in here because it's easier to combine and then I'm going to transfer it to the individual glasses. But the ratio for your party, just be to two cups. So we're going to add two cups for every cup of orange juice. And this is just cranberry juice. That's a good mix. I'm going to add ice, of course. But before I do, I'm going to add sparkling water. Oh there it goes, periodically, it'll do that no matter how long I think I let it rest when I bring it back from the store. Add another two cups if you were making this for adults, this might be vodka. That's roughly the proportions. You know, making your own drinks and your own punch up is really kind of whatever juice you have in the fridge. This is what I happened to have. I'm going to add some ice. Whoops, as they plunk in. And then when I put it in the punch bowl, or if you want to serve it right in the glasses, serve with some orange so your guests know what's in it."
