Party Punches & Sips
Punches done right are never out of fashion. Quite the opposite! A thoughtful punch is an absolute entertaining must. Why?
- It allows you to have a large number of drinks made up and ready to go without a lot of work.
- Plus, guests can serve themselves when they are ready for a refill or are feeling parched.
- Last, but not least, a pretty punch in a glass bowl, pitcher or drink dispenser doubles as the perfect inviting centerpiece for your party table or buffet.
Following these 3 rules of thumb will help you make the most of your punch mocktails no matter the occasion:
- Use pretty glasses or stemware to serve your drinks. Nothing makes an occasion like special dishes.
- Add fruit and/or herbs like Rosemary, Mint or others to your serving pitcher, bowl or dispenser. You can even add garnishes to the glasses before you set them out.
- Don’t forget the cocktail napkins. Set a few out by your punch bowl and place small stacks here and there around your room so that they’ll be easy for your guests to grab as they need one.
