Today's recipe treat comes from the latest issue of "Louisiana Cookin'" magazine. Although I haven't tried it yet, as soon as the weather gets a little warmer, I'm gonna! Or, if I was going to be home today, I just might make it to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Don't forget to wear your green!
Eula Mae's Deep Bayou Punch
6 oranges
4 lemons
4 tea bags
2 gallons of water
Sugar or sweetener to taste
1 fifth white wine
1 quart of whiskey
Cut fruit in half. Place fruit, tea bags and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and let boil until rinds of the citrus are soft. Strain the liquid and sweeten. Add the wine and whiskey to the warm liquid and serve (LOL...I typed "swerve" first) immediately.
[This recipe comes from the McIlhenny Company, Avery Island, LA; the family who created Tabasco. For more good Cajun recipes, check out Eula Mae's Cajun Kitchen Cookbook.] Note: Eula Mae found this recipe in her husband's file box. At the bottom of the paper on which it was written, it said, "Do not drink this before going hunting!"

Mmm...this sounds good. Is there any particular white wine you recommend to use? Or can any old one will do?
Lol! I'm laughing! Whoa, bay-bee on those ingrediants. Def no hunting! Always on the green with the eyes! ; )
Sounds like a Leprechaun's dream...
God, that sounds good. I may just have to do this.
Yummy! You'll need the luck of the Irish after drinking this. Will have to try it soon.
Don't forget to add a slice of corned beef or cabbage leaf as garnish today. Erin go bragh;-)
Now I think that would have a nice little kick to it!
Makes one thirsty for some fun!
Michelle, when I make it, I'm gonna use whatever wine is on sale! :)
No hunting or driving (or book signings) after sipping some of this, kimmi. LOL
Jinksy, sure does!
Thanks for visiting, Jamie. Lemme know if you try it and how it turns out, k?
Ang & Rebecca, looks refreshing, doesn't it?
Yes ma'am, Debbie. :)
Joy, it sure does.
LOLOL! That's WAY too rich for my blood! You'll have to tell us all how it turns out! LOL! You crack me up! Jenni
There must be some way to turn that green for Saint Patty's...
Cheers to a St. Pat's Day that's full of fun!!
Jenni, I'll let you know how it turned out, and how I felt, when I make and consume it! :)
Suldog, we could doctor it up with a little green food color, and boy-o, it'd be the right color for today.
Same to you, Barbara!
Sounds like it definitly comes with a little punch!:) Happy Irish Day! And break down and join us on Facebook.....
Wow, that definitely sounds like it's got some kick to it! I'll will have to try it out soon!
This punch sounds like it packs a punch. I like it!

Wow. That's one heckuva drink!
Since I do not drink, I will be content to listen to the stories. And I could not agree more with the handwritten note. If someone is drinking, this little country boy does not go into the woods with them. Safer in camp.

Now this is MY kind of cooking! The only hunting I do is for a good shoe sale, and I'm pretty sure that's even more fun after libations!
I love that color. What a great drink idea. :)
Swerve, indeed! I'm thinking hunting isn't the only thing one shouldn't do after drinking that stuff.
Anytime you want to come to Florida, you can stay with me. I'll pay you to cook. LOL
Sounds delish! Sanks.

I love the name...it sounds so dusky and mysterious. I think swerve is probably a good substitute for serve based on the whiskey and wine content. :>)
I think I love Eula Mae, whoever she is. This sounds scrumptious. I'm making this for the next writer's group. :))
Thanks for all your great comments, friends. And lemme know if you make the brew...um, I mean, delicious concoction!
