Furthermore, add only a single brand of hard liquor; mixing together different brands can have adverse effects on the persons who will drink your punch. Instead, think about combining fruit juices and sparkling beverages and wine to keep its alcohol content low.

You can balance the rest of your punch bowl by adding water, apple juice, seltzer, or ginger ale. You can also opt to add carbonated ingredients before you serve the punch to your guests. Adding soda water and club soda can not affect the overall taste of your punch as well as giving fewer calories to your drinks.

Yummy Cocktail - Freeze

It is essential to keep your punch cool. A great way of keeping it cool is to start adding chilled ingredients. Small batches of punch can be mixed beforehand, serving them in smaller quantities during the party instead of giving out an enormous bowl. A block of ice may be used instead of ice cubes to prevent diluting your punch.
