Peepsicle Punch

Serves 12

INGREDIENTS

8-10 mint sprigs

2 liters store-bought lemonade (Our favorite brand is Newman's Own Virgin Lemonade)

12 chick Peeps

4 liters plain seltzer water

Special equipment

1 12-cup muffin tin (silicone is best)

PREPARATION

Fill muffin tin cups 1/2 full with water. Place in freezer for 1-2 hours, until frozen solid. Meanwhile, wash mint springs and put them in the lemonade bottle. Seal and shake, and let sit in fridge for an hour to infuse the flavor.

Remove ice tray from freezer and put peeps on top of ice blocks. Pour cold water into muffin cups to fill them to the top, then put back in freezer for another hour until frozen solid. Strain lemonade into punch bowl, add seller and Peepsicles. Serve immediately.
