A private joke among a couple of Catholics I have known (who think of

weddings in terms of the open bar at the reception at an Italian wedding)

refers to this concoction as the "Baptist wedding punch." This stuff is

very frequently served at receptions of all kinds in Central Georgia and is

called "punch" by the people who make it and drink it (with a plate of

cheese straws, divinity, and weird little sandwiches).
