Colette Andrade Fujii, also known as Coco or Aunty Coco, a student support specialist for the Lunalilo Scholars Program<\/a> at Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College<\/a>, is spreading holiday cheer by sharing her family’s recipe for holiday punch. The festive beverage in a bowl serves as a centerpiece of celebration where friends and family can crowd around to enjoy the refreshing flavors and “talk-story.”<\/p>\n

This holiday punch recipe was passed down to Coco through her mother-in-law, Grandma Carol, and is a staple at the Andrade Fujii holiday parties.<\/p>\n

“This holiday punch is enjoyed by family and friends during our Christmas party every year,” said Fujii. “Grandma Carol wanted a tasty punch for her party and threw things together. She modified the punch over the years to perfect it. My children fight over this holiday drink every year. The ice cream is the best part.”<\/p>\n

The recipe includes a list of ingredients and charges the preparer with achieving the right balance.<\/p>\n

“While you look at the ingredients, Grandma Carol does not believe in giving exact measurements,” added Fujii. “She believes that you should trust your taste buds!”<\/p>\n
