Although every dish on the menu for my movie club meeting features corn, I couldn't find a corn cocktail recipe. Thus, I looked for a refreshing concoction that would pair with the corn cakes and corn and zucchini pizzettas. This tequila sunrise punch is quick and simple to make for a crowd. To meld the flavors and infuse the tequila with citrus, let the mixture sit in the fridge for longer than ten minutes.

After the movie and during dinner, serve a buttery Chardonnay or light Tempranillo. Don't forget sparkling and still water, beer, and a selection of sodas. For the punch recipe, read more.

Tequila Sunrise Punch
From Ingrid Hoffmann

Ingredients

1/2 cup silver or gold tequila
33 ounces citrus-flavored club soda
2 limes, quartered
1 small unpeeled orange, cut into 1-inch chunks

Ice cubes

Directions

1. Pour the tequila and club soda into a pitcher. Add the limes, oranges and grapefruit and set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Add enough ice to the pitcher so that the punch rises to the top. Serve in chilled glasses with some fruit in each glass.
