Party like an Architect -Harris Armstrong's Champagne Punch

Architects are very social people. My father had a busy schedule and so many events to go to even in his 80's. He received so many invitations for art shows and events he couldn't go to all of them, but he did go to many.

My mom recently gave me her prized copy of the WAL cookbook from the 1950's. WAL is the Women's Architecture League. I was so excited to receive this. I plan on posting appetizer and cocktail recipes from the book regularly on E J's Blog.

Harris Armstrong's Champagne Punch

3 Bottles of Taylor's Sauterne
4 Bottles of Champagne
1 Bottle of Brandy
2 Bottles of Ginger Ale
2 Bottles of Sparkling Water

Pour over ice. Will fill 2 very large bowls. Makes 79 cups before adding ice.

This was the traditional "Architects' Punch" of the St. Louis Chapter AIA in the 50's.
