Wedding punch recipe?

Question

my "signatare drink" is going to be an alcoholic punch (so please dont suggest other drinks) i need some good EASY recipes! whats your favoite?

Answer 1

Several of the juice companies now have combinations of frozen juice that are just fine for punch or wine coolers.  Even the same mix works for both an alcoholic wine cooler and for a punch with 7-up.

Pick your favorite frozen juice mix and add grape juice to it. Then add a liter of 7-up to it.  Mix. This is your non-alcoholic beverage.

Using more of the same favorite frozen juice mix, add a bottle of wine and perhaps some frozen orange juice.  Mix.  This is your alcoholic wine cooler.  

The color difference makes it clear which ones kids and those who can't have alcohol can drink.  My suggestion is to try some out in advance so that you can have the best drink mix with your choice of wine.

I do this every Christmas - the flavor combos change.  Before the predone juice mixes, we combined pineapple juice, apricot nector, and grape juice and then added the wine and/or 7-up.  My Mom sometimes used Boones farm wine, which was fine (and cheap).

Answer 2

If it's your "signature drink" how come you don't already have a recipe.  It should be your favorite -- not anyone else's.

Answer 3

Here's a recipe for a really great punch.  I've never added alcohol to it but I think it would probably taste good that way.  Why don't you make a small amount and try different types/flavors of alcohol and see what you like the best.  I'm including the recipes to make 200 servings, 50 servings and 25 servings.  It's super easy to adjust the amounts to make the quantity you want.  If you do try this I would love for you to email me and let me know what was good, not so good and/or awful.  

Have a wonderful wedding and reception and a joy filled life together!!
