Family-friendly warm ‘cocktail’ marries four fruit juices

This simple and sophisticated warm “cocktail” from Mary Lou Heiss and Robert J. Heiss’ “Hot Drinks” contains lots of juice and no alcohol, making it a good choice for warming up with the whole family.

And once the kids are in bed, you can always add a shot of vodka.

If you have trouble finding guava juice, try another tropical or citrus juice, such as nectarine.

1/2cup ruby red grapefruit juice

1/2cup cranberry juice cocktail

1/2cup guava juice

1/4cup lime juice

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the grapefruit juice, cranberry juice cocktail and guava juice. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to keep at a simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in the lime juice, then serve in sherry or port glasses.

Makes four servings.
