When entertaining, I like to either prepare a batch of cocktails in a pitcher or I like to make a punch for my guests to help themselves. This Christmas, I brought out an old punch recipe I had not made in years.
After seeing so may punch bowls over the summer and a tall cylinder one on Instagram, I was on the hunt for a tall cylinder bowl for my cocktail table. I found mine at a local store that was closing it’s doors.
Back to punch. The beauty of this punch is it can go from nonalcoholic, kid-friendly to an alcoholic, adult beverage.
