NPR: Party Punch

[pismoduo]

The only punch I've ever made was with spumoni ice cream, sprite and pineapple juice.

I bet bubbly would be real good in that, though.

To be clear is this just punch? Or jungle juice?

Orange sherbet, orange juice and ginger ale. You won't be sorry.

I just had one over the weekend that was amazing.
2 cans of concentrate McCain Raspberry kiwi juice, 6 cans of water, 1.5 litres of club soda and sliced lime. it was freaking delicious

I don't necessarily have a while recipe for you but I do recommend a great trick I learned and used this holiday season. To keep the punch cold without watering down, and so pretty, freeze fruit in a baggie or a pan - do thin fruit slices (orange, lime, lemon), grapes, cranberries, pomegranate seeds, blueberries, anything really. Freeze it a day or more ahead of time, then drop it in the punch and it will keep it cold and looks so festive!

Also, you could look for a ginger beer punch, maybe? I just usually mix up some fruit juices and ginger ale or ginger beer because I never plan ahead.

I love a good champagne punch! I've made one with Bubbles, Sprite, Orange Sherbet, and floating orange slices. It's always a huge hit.

Sangria!!!

Orchard Fete: 1/2 cup maple syrup, 8 sprigs rosemary, 8 sprigs thyme, 4 cups applejack, 2 cups apple cider, 2 (750 ml) bottles alcoholic sparkling cider.

Bring the syrup, rosemary and thyme to a simmer over medium heat. Allow to cool. Remove herbs.

Stir syrup, applejack and apple cider together in a bowl. When ready to serve add sparkling cider.

We did this Christmas Eve and it was a big hit. Maybe a little autumnal, but not too sweet...

We make this for just about any gathering we host. It's always a hit!

My favorite drink in college and now is Pink Panties.  
Whenever I drink this I'm good until I stand up but it taste so good.

Orange juice, champagne, ginger ale, and brandy. It's like a mimosa on steroids and has a nice burn, depending on how much brandy you add.

Mmmm. I am so bookmarking this thread for my next pants party.

I don't know if this qualifies as a punch BUT... I like to use a big bottle of Muscato (cheap stuff is fine for this), a can of frozen pink lemonade and about a cup of Sprite. Mix the wine and lemonade, add the Sprite and serve with raspberries just for fun.

Strawberry purée + limeade concentrate + big bottle of moscato

Serve over frozen strawberries, top with 7up, garnish with lime slices

This is my go to party drink.

This sounds awesome - I think I might try this

I make a whiskey sour punch that is really good. It's made with cans of frozen lemonade and orange juice, whiskey, and club soda. I don't even like whiskey but this is so delicious! (And dangerous, because you can't taste the alcohol )

This is definitely better for summer and a personal favorite but I wouldn't necessarily consider it sophisticated...
Beer punch - yellow lemonade, vodka and a light beer like Sams summer. I lived above a bar in college and this was their specialty. So good!
