Butterscotch Shortbread Cookies

Image
ingredients 2-3 powder-free vinyl gloves 24 ounces pineapple juice 24 ounces cranberry juice 32 ounces Canada Dry 1 cup fresh raspberries instructions At least 24 hours prior to the time you'd like to serve your punch, you need to prepare the ice hands, if you're using them. Simply fill up each glove with water, tapping out any air bubbles, then seal with a twist-tie. Place them flat on a tray, with the sealed ends, pointing slightly upwards (to avoid drippage).  Freeze until solid. In a large punch bowl, combine the juices and Canada Dry.  Stir in the raspberries. Remove the vinyl glove from each hand, then place the frozen hands in the punch.  Serve immediately!
