Notes
Classic Old World punch recipes and proportions are remembered by some in the rhyme: “One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four of weak”—blending juices, sugar, water, spirits and spices.
Edible Test Kitchen took a fresh approach to punch up the local flavor by using local, seasonal fruits and ingredients with invitingly eye-catching results. Read more about our Punch Revival here, and check out our other fresh party punch recipe, Hibiscus Pear Punch!
