The upcoming design illustrates that our Hattingdon can pull off just about any kind of fashion hat.
In this instance, she wears a custom headpiece made up of fruit slices frim oranges, blood oranges and limes. We named the headpiece Citrina.
She looks fresh and bright and cheerful and darling . . . in our humble opinion of course.
Now . . . how about some punch inspired by Hattingdon’s darling headwear?
This weekend, two of our staff made the recipe for the punch pictured below. They report it was a huge win with family, friends and their guests. They also report they will be serving it again and again, especially at holiday time.
Here are three recipes for you — Lime Sherbet Punch, Orange Sherbet Punch and the Blood Orange Holiday Punch seen above. Let’s go!
Lime Sherbet Punch
Ingredients
2 quarts lime sherbet
2 (2 liter) bottles ginger ale
1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice
(4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
1 lemon, sliced
1 lime, sliced

Scoop lime sherbet into a punch bowl; pour in ginger ale and pineapple juice. Stir well. Stir in maraschino cherries and float lemon and lime slices in the punch.

Orange Sherbet Punch
Ingredients
Orange Sherbet – the scoops of sherbet are the star ingredient to add the creaminess and orange flavor to this party punch.
Ginger Ale – is a classic choice to make the perfect party punch and transforming it into a fizzy drink.
Orange Slices – completely optional, but I love to add a few slices on top of the punch to make it look pretty and offer fresh wedges for garnish on the punch glasses.
Directions
To prepare the punch, use an ice cream scoop and add scoops of orange sherbet to the bottom of a large punch bowl. Next, pour half of the ginger ale over the sherbet (it will look really foamy and that’s okay) then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the punch to chill until half an hour before you plan to serve it.

Blood Orange Holiday Punch
As promised above, here is the recipe for Blood Orange Holiday Punch — it is from Southern Living magazine. The recipe contains liquor, and is traditionally served at holiday time. Don’t let that stop you!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups vodka
¾ cup Maraschino liquor, such as Luxardo
3 cups blood orange juice (from about 12 blood oranges)
1 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice (from about 12 limes)
1 750-ml bottle prosecco (or other dry, sparkling wine), chilled
Directions
Combine the vodka, Maraschino liquor, blood orange juice, and lime juice in a large pitcher, and refrigerate for about an hour. When ready to serve, pour the mixture into a punch bowl. Add the prosecco, and garnish with an assortment of citrus wheels, thyme sprigs, and star anise.
Enjoy!
P.S. We have a brand new classic hat inspired by the above fruit colours. It is so very pretty and bright. Tune in Tuesday. Love, Hattingdon.
