“Well, in a few minutes I shall be all melted, and you will have the castle to yourself. I have
been wicked in my day, but I never thought a little girl like you would ever be able to melt
me and end my wicked deeds.”

This sweet-tart punch has a fun bit of kick. Easy to make and easier to drink, it’s just the
thing to fill your glass when you toast the destruction of the Wicked Witch of the West.
