It\u2019s almost Father\u2019s Day! Time to show dear ol\u2019 Dad how much you appreciate him. Maybe that means a special family breakfast or brunch, taking him out to a ball game, going for a long drive, or an afternoon on the patio with some good tunes and the grill turned up high.<\/p>\n

While the food is cooking and family and friends are gathered around, mix up a special drink for pops and those all gathered round (who can drink of course!).<\/p>\n

I have just the drink for him: Whiskey Spiked Iced Tea Punch<\/a>. You might think punch is better suited for Mom\u2019s special day, but this sunny-weather sip has a definite \u201cmanly\u201d vibe about it.<\/p>\n

Packed with fresh juices, brown sugar, brewed tea, and some very masculine Jack Daniel’s, this punch is the perfect accompaniment to a fun day of showing Dad he\u2019s number one.<\/p>\n

So three cheers for Dad! -Kathy<\/p>\n

Spiked Iced Tea Punch<\/strong>
\nPunch is the perfect party cocktail! For a more-spiked interpretation, let guests add a little more whiskey to their individual drinks. For summertime sipping add in a few slices of fresh peach or nectarine.

Makes about 8 cups, enough for 10 to 12 servings<\/p>\n

20 cloves
\n1 orange
\n6 very large sprigs fresh mint
\n3 tea bags black tea
\n3 cups boiling water
\n1 cup ice water
\n1 cup fresh orange juice
\n1\/2 cup fresh lemon juice
\n1 cup pineapple juice
\n1\/2 cup packed brown sugar
\n2 cups Jack Daniel’s Whiskey <\/p>\n

Poke the cloves into the orange, then cut it into 3 slices. Put the orange slices, mint, and tea bags in a heatproof pitcher or bowl. Add the boiling water, let steep for 1 hour, then remove the tea bags.<\/p>\n

Add the ice water, juices, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, add the whiskey, and chill until ready to serve. Serve in ice-filled glasses. Garnish as desired.<\/p>\n
