This is one of my favorite holiday drinks. It reminds me of the holidays because my mother would freeze the juice in an ice cream gallon bucket and put it outside on the deck or on the front porch to let it freeze. The weather is always cold in the winter in ND and so it was easier to make large batches of the drink for parties when all we had to do was put it outside and not worry about finding room in the freezer. However, this is a great refreshing drink for any time of the year. It was just made at Christmas and New Year's because it was convenient to freeze outside!
