What is party punch made of? ›

Party Punch Formula:

ONE part pineapple-orange juice. For every gallon of juice, add 1 to 1 1/2 liters ginger ale depending on how fizzy you want it.

For large parties, make enough punch in advance for the entire event. Fill your punch bowl and refrigerate the remainder in pitchers for a quick refill. Don't add carbonated ingredients until the last minute.

The general rule is to provide one gallon of punch for every 10 guests. A conservative estimate assumes each guest will drink about three four-ounce servings.

When serving punch in a large bowl or pitcher, go for larger blocks or rings of ice. This is especially important if your punch will be sitting out for an extended period of time. The block will melt slowly, keeping the punch chilled without diluting it too quickly.

co*cktails, on the other hand, tend to treat spirits as the star, and will match the non-alcoholic elements ounce for ounce, or even forgo the add-ins entirely. Punches, therefore, contain significantly less alcohol, and since the highlight is often fruit juices, taste quite a bit sweeter than your standard co*cktail.

You don't need a fancy punch bowl to serve punch though—any large bowl (or even a pot!) with a ladle will do.

To estimate the amount of mixers needed, figure about 1 quart (1 liter) of tonic water, soda water, or juice for every 3 guests. And don't forget to round up and, if possible, buy a little more than you think you'll need. Check with the vendor you buy from; some will give refunds for unopened bottles.
