For my sister's baby shower, she only had one real request. She wanted Champagne punch. Now, what a pregnant woman wants with Champagne punch, I don't know, but anyone who has been around pregnant women knows better than to argue with them. And they also know they had better find the best darn Champagne punch recipe there is.
Luckily, Emeril came to my rescue again. I swear, the man has the best recipes. And how could this not be fabulous? Look at that liquor list! This goes down so smoothly, it's almost magic.
