1 cup sugar
1 two-inch piece of stick cinnamon
5 wholes cloves
5 whole allspice
2 cups water
2 cans (6 ounces each) frozen concentrate for lemonade
2 cans (6 ounces each) frozen concentrate for limeade
2 bottles (1 pint, 12 ounces each) quinine water, chilled
2 bottles (1 pint, 12 ounces each) carbonated water, chilled
Ice block (directions follow)

Combine sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, allspice, and water in a small saucepan; heat to boiling; simmer 5 minutes. Strain into a medium-size bowl; cool.

When ready to mix punch, pour spiced-water mixture into a punch bowl; stir in frozen lemonade and limeade, and quinine and carbonated waters. Float ice block on top. Surround bowl with clusters of green grapes, if you wish.

Ice Block:

The day before the party, fill a fancy mold that will fit into the punch bowl with water; freeze. To unmold, dip quickly in and out of a pan of hot water; float on top of punch. Garnish with a ring of alternating slices of lemon and lime.

Makes 50 punch-cup servings
