A big batch beverage—punch—offers an easy, serve-yourself option to any adult gathering. This recipe has long been served at our family events, and it’s been a consistent crowd pleaser. Note: With the growing market of nonalcoholic spirits, consider swapping out the Southern Comfort with a spirit-free bourbon or rum. Cheers.
Southern Punch
- 6 lemons
- 4 oranges
- 12 oz. frozen lemonade
- 6 oz. frozen orange juice
- 2 liters lemon-lime pop
- 1 liter Southern Comfort
Slice fruit into thin rounds. Place them on a plastic-lined baking sheet; and place in the freezer until fruit is frozen (at least 2 hours). Just before serving, add frozen lemonade and juice, pop, spirit and several handfuls of ice to a punch bowl. Gently stir. Top the punch with frozen fruit rounds, and serve.
