GIVE YOURSELF A PUNCH OF ALCOHOLIC GOODNESS

When you have a good drink in your hand, but it finishes so quickly, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to fill that right back up? With party punches, you could do just that! ‘Strawberry Fields’ is sweet and delicious; it’s made with 8 oz. Sauza Blue Tequila Silver, 4 oz. DeKuyper Strawberry Liqueur, 1 can of frozen limeade concentrate, 12 oz. champagne, and 12 oz. of water. Pour limeade into punch bowl filled with ice, pour champagne into limeade can and pour into punch; add remaining ingredients, stir gently, and garnish with lots of fresh strawberries. For a refreshing fix of alcohol, try a ‘Watermelon Punch.’ It’s made with 8 ¾ oz. rum, 1 ¾ oz. ginger liqueur, 1 ¾ oz. pom syrup (mix equal parts pomegranate juice and sugar until sugar is dissolved)m 1 ¾ oz. lemon juice, and 8 ¾ oz. watermelon juice. Combine all of the ingredients in a punch bowl filled with ice and stir gently. It’s not only pretty to drink; the taste is a delight on your palate.

For a bit of pomegranate goodness, have a ‘Rosato Punch.’ It’s made with 2.5 c. Martini Asti, 2 c. Martini Rosato, 1.5 c. pomegranate juice, ¾ c. club soda, ¾ c. lemon juice, and ½ c. simple syrup (mix equal parts hot water and sugar until sugar is dissolved). Combine all of the ingredients in a punch bowl filled with ice, stir gently, and then garnish with lemon and lime slices. For a big kick on the palate, try a ‘Rum Punch.’ It’s strong for those that can handle it. It’s made with 1 bottle of rum, 30 mint leaves, ½ c. lime juice, 3 c. simple syrup (mix equal parts hot water and sugar until sugar has dissolved), and champagne. Combine all of the ingredients except the champagne; stir gently, top with champagne and garnish with fresh lime slices. Enjoy your punch.
