Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
"A.J." is A.J. Rathbun, the senior editor over at Amazon's kitchen section, and this hoilday recipe comes from his book Good Spirits: Recipes, Revelations, Refreshments, and Romance, Shaken and Stirred with a Twist (which could also get an award for longest book title of the last decade) and FineLiving.com. It includes one of my favorites, Cointreau (I like drinking that stuff by itself in a little glass - it really warms you up), and also brandy and champagne. Recipe after the jump.
A.J.'s Christmas Punch
Ice (in block form if possible, if not, large chunks)
4 oz. Cointreau
4 oz. brandy
2 oranges, cut into wedges
1 cup frozen cranberries (optional)
2 bottles chilled champagne
Add ice to a large punch bowl. If using chunks (as opposed to a large block of ice), fill the bowl just under half way.
Add Cointreau and brandy. Using a ladle or long spoon, stir briefly.
Add orange slices and cranberries (if using) and then pour in the champagne.
Stir 12 times and let sit for a minute, so the ingredients can get acquainted.
Serves 10.

Punch sounds Good..
If you happen to be in NYC this December, there's a show that I saw last year that you've got to check out. It's called Holiday Wonders. It's like a mix of ancient, traditional Chinese dance and singing and western classical music and dance (like ballet and a brass ensemble). What's cool about it is the fusion. Somehow the improbable mix of the arts of the East and West strike out in a fresh direction. Anyhow, I'll be going again this year and I thought I'd spread the joy. All the relevant info can be found at www.holidaywonders.net. Peace.
