I may be jumping the gun, but this looks yummy:
CHOCOLATE BLITZEN 1/2 oz. (15ml) Vodka 1/2 oz. (15ml) Dark Creme de Cacao 1 oz. (30ml) Baileys Irish Cream 1 1/2 Cup Chocolate Ice Cream Chocolate Sprinkles 2 oz. (60ml) Melting Chocolate
1. Rim glass with hot melted chocolate and dip in chocolate sprinkles.
2. Blend vodka, creme de cacao, baileys and ice cream. Do not blend the ice cream completely to a liquid. Let it maintain some of it's thickness.
3. Pour into chocolate rimmed glass and add sprinkles on top.

Nikster - that recipe sounds awesome! It also sounds really close to the "hard sauce" you pour over bread pudding when you serve it. Do you think your recipe would work for that? Luckylady2, you can definitely use it for that purpose. I learned that some people use the boiled custard (minus the alcohol) as a topping for jello and other desserts. I bet it would taste delicious (especially with the alcohol) on bread pudding.

Gaidin, I am starting to feel really old. When I was in private practice, all attorneys kept a bottle in their right hand lower desk drawer. IIRC, it was a requirement of the State Bar at the time, helped with negotiations, don't ya know?? Not so old. I still keep a bottle or two in my office -- but they're airline sized and at least 8 years old. Haven't had any emergencies necessitating breaking the seal. Would getting a call from Bob be an emergency situation?

Would getting a call from Bob be an emergency situation? A call from Bob is a unique situation, necessitating grabbing all my stuff, driving home, and opening a bottle of champagne. Dancing for joy optional.

Dancing for joy optional. I have a bottle of champagne chilling, just in case. Unfortunately, it has been waiting since the beginning of June 2014. If I reach June 2015 without Bob calling, I am drinking that bottle all by myself.

So for today, champagne punch, the totally retro kind. Get a big punch bowl. Add a big container of sherbert, bag of frozen fruit, about a cup of powdered sugar, ginger ale, and champagne (the cheap stuff is fine). Stir and enjoy. Try different combos of sherbert and fruit. I like lime sherbert and raspberries.
