Punch! The alcoholic kind

chiquelet · 20th August 2009, 20:02

Ok folks, I need a recipe for punch. Preferably gin punch, because I have a bottle of gin which needs drinking.

I found this recipe online, but I've never made punch so have no idea if it's nice or not.

If any of you have any tried and true recipes (not necessarily involving gin) then please post away. I'm not much of a drinker you see, so need all the help I can get!

Ingredients:
• 6 cups Water
• 2 cups Sugar
• 1.5 liter Pineapple Juice
• 1.5 liter Grapefruit Juice
• 226 gm Cherries
• 2 cups Gin
• 5 cups Ginger Ale (chilled)
How to make Gin Punch:
• Combine the water and sugar in large saucepan.
• Bring it to boil and stir until dissolved; cool.
• Combine sugar mixture, juices and cherries, chill.
• Add gin and ginger ale just before serving.

Drunks having a punch-up? Can be amusing to watch.

(Yeah, I've not made punch either)

But if you're trying to get rid of gin, just get some nice french vermouth and a few olives.

What the what? Isn't vermouth alcohol? Alcohol+alcohol+olives sounds pretty nasty.

It's called a Martini. Try one sometime

Lawd, I've clearly led a very sheltered life ha ha.

The punch does need more gin.

You can't be *that* sheltered that you've never experienced cocktails.
