Punch Recipes

With wine cups and punches, it is a waste of money to use costly wines. The subtleties of ten-year-old Claret when mixed with fruit juices, sugar and liquers are lost to all of us. In recipes calling for Claret, use a light crisp flagon or cask red. When the recipe calls for white wine don't use a precious bottle from your cellar. Excellent cask wine is available. Rhine Riesling, Sauterne and Moselle are all delicious but be sure they are well chilled before adding to the bowl.

You can flavour your punch with slices of any fruit you like: e.g., orange, lemon, lime, apple, pineapple, banana, strawberry, raspberry, pear, peach, plum or apricot.

Answer 2

Midori Sours are really good and Midori has that Neon Green color so it'll look really nice.

1 oz Midori® melon liqueur
1 oz whisky sour mix
2 oz Sprite® soda
2 cherries

Fill a glass with ice. Add the midori, sour mix and sprite, give a quick stir, and add cherries.


I also like White Carnations they have a peachy taste due to the p[each schnapps very good...

2 oz vodka
1/2 oz peach schnapps
2 oz orange juice
soda water
1 splash cream

Stir and pour over ice in a glass. Garnish with an orange slice.


If you really want to go out on a bang you can do flaming shots...
my favorites are...

Flaming Blue recipe
1/2 oz anisette
1/2 oz vermouth
1 splash Bacardi® 151 rum

Mix into a shot glass, and splash the bacardi on the very top. Be careful not to mix it into the rest of the drink. Then carefully light the rum on fire with a match. Blow out the flame and drink it fast before the rim gets too hot.

Have fun at your party =]

Answer 3

get a big water melon (green on the outside pink on the inside) and cut a hole in it the size of a Tequila bottle kneck. Put the bottle in upside-down and allow the bottle to empty into the melon (may take some time), the fibre inside acts like a sponge, chill and cut it up and serve at the party then stand well back!

Answer 4

Angel, You need to get a watermelon, a bottle of Vodka and a Horse syringe.
Inject the vodke into the melon then chill in the fridge overnight... when you cut it open at your party you have a highly toxic non smelling alcoholic fruit... great for getting V pissed... & fun too....

Miss you...x Styles

Answer 5

if you want something sweet try Moose Juice! I think Bugaboo Creek makes it - and all it's made with is Vodka and Pineapple Chunks, with some pineapple juice! Make it and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour - or longer! the pineapple chunks will soak up the vodka and you can chew on them while sipping the juice! i'm having it right now actually!

Answer 6

You can make a lot of drinks with vodka: vodka tonics, vodka & grapefruit, my favorite of vodka & cranberry juice with a slice of lemon floating in it.

Actually, vodka and Crystal Light (fruit punch or cherry) is REALLY good. Any type of sugar-free mix (yes, even kool-aid) would be okay. You could make a HUGE punch with this, float lemon slices in it with floating candles, it would make a great centerpiece.

If you live somewhere where it is cold right now, you could even do an eggnog with Southern Comfort - really good.

Answer 8

if you get a water melon, and put vodka in side of it, its a lovely bit of fruit not only that it gets you really drunk. and an other one if you have a dish washer get a bottle of vodka empty some out, put strawberrys in the bottle and place the bottle in dish washer on a cycle, and when its finished you will have a red stawberry vodka, and the stawberrys turn white and have all the flavour you need. i work in a bar try it, its good stuff.

Answer 9

How about Margarita's!! Always a good one. Or do a sex and the city theme and do Cosmopolitans. Have a look at www.cocktail.com for some good ones. Or, Sangria which is really nice, it's made of red wine, fruit etc, that would be cool. Enjoy!

Answer 10

Get a selection of spirits and fruit juices/mixers and then invent your own. Great fun and your guests will love it. Will get the party going!
