Ingredients

- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- 1/2 cup light beer
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup sugar cubes, finely crushed
- 1 teaspoon mixed seasonings of choice (such as salt, paprika, and cayenne)
- 2 cups assorted snack mixes (such as pretzels and cheese crackers)
- 1 cup assorted candy pieces (such as gummies and chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon wildflowers, dried and edible (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Prepare the Liquid Mix:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the lemonade, light beer, and white wine.
- Heat over medium heat until the liquid begins to simmer, about PT5M (5 minutes).
- Gradually add the crushed sugar cubes, stirring constantly until they dissolve completely. This should take an additional PT3M (3 minutes).

3. Coat the Popcorn:
- Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the warm liquid over the popcorn, ensuring even coverage. Toss the popcorn gently to coat it completely.

4. Add Seasonings and Snack Mixes:
- Sprinkle the mixed seasonings over the coated popcorn.
- Add the assorted snack mixes to the bowl and toss everything together until well combined.

5. Bake the Mix:
- Spread the popcorn and snack mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for PT20M (20 minutes), stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.

6. Add Candy:
- Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then gently fold in the assorted candy pieces.

7. Serve:
- Transfer the mix to a serving bowl.
- For an optional decorative touch, sprinkle dried edible wildflowers over the top before serving.
