Friday Arvo Champagne Aristos

Ahhh Friday afternoon's....even for a stay at home mum, Friday arvo's are still a wonderous twighlight of relaxing and taking a deep breath after a busy week. An alcoholic beverage is key to making this time truelly relaxing.
A.J was home late today so I decided to start without him. I made a champagne punch as I was feeling particularly "summery", with the heat and all, and I had a bottle of champagne given to me for my birthday from my brother that looked fancy but didnt taste fancy and wanted to use it up.
I didn't really have the normal punch ingredients so I did what my old flat mates and I used to call an "Aristos", which is using only the bits and pieces left in your fridge and pantry to come up with a meal, or punch in this case. It turned out better than I thought, here' s what I used............

* A can of tinned fruit salad mix in juice
* Some red cordial
* some lemonade
* a bottle of champagne
* I added some strawberries that I had aswell, topped and halved.
* Lots of ice to chill.
* Fresh mint leaves just enough to taste if you have some.

Haha TaaaDaaaa! Yum! Oh and don't add too much cordial otherwise it will make it too sweet, the fruit juice and the champagne makes it sweet already.

Enjoy!!! And have a great weekend!
