Mock Champagne

Ok guys...THIS.  In July my middle sister and I hosted a bridal shower for our baby sister.  (Sniff...sniff... :*)...our little baby is growing up.)  This was the fancy little drink we served at the luncheon.  It is SO pretty and fancy you really feel like you're special.  Well, you ARE special...but having a sparkly little fancy drink just makes you feel EXTRA special.  I served it in disposable champagne glasses and all around the room you could see folks sipping their "champagne" with their pinky slightly lifted.  It was great.

1 can frozen white grape juice concentrate, thawed but still chilly
2-2 liters Canada Dry ginger ale, chilled
1 container fresh raspberries

To a drink dispenser or punch bowl, gently combine the white grape juice concentrate and ginger ale.  Stir it gently because you don't want to lose all of the carbonation.
 
That's it.  Seriously.  It's the best tasting and best looking "punch" you'll ever serve.  When you're ready for your guests to enjoy, place 2-3 raspberries per glass and fill with "champagne".  Or you can simply place the raspberries in a pretty little bowl with mini tongs and let the guests add the berries themselves.  Whatever floats your boat.   Can you say baby shower?  Bridal shower?  Christmas Eve?  New Year's Eve?
