Need non-alcoholic punch recipe
I need a good punch recipe for a prom-theme birthday party (adult only). I'd like to have a "Spiking Station" set up next to the punch bowl with rum, vodka, and tequila so people can add their own alcohol to taste.
I have googled punch recipes, and it brings up so many of them I can't decide which one to go with that will mix with well different types of alcohol.
Can you please give me your suggestions/recipes? I feel like a moron for even asking this question, but I really would appreciate the help!!!!
Re: Need non-alcoholic punch recipe
Large punch bowl
64 oz cranberry
64 oz orange juice
16 oz Rose's lime juice
3 trays of ice
Serves 20 as a non alcoholic punch. With a spiking station, you can get more servings This blend works with rum and vodka but I have not tried it with tequila. When we last did a spiking station, we also put out cups of maraschino cherries, lemon wedges and lime wedges. The kids (4-10) went mad for putting maraschino cherries in their non alcoholic drinks. Since they kept getting drinks, we kept an eye on the liquour.
Thanks!
My Aunt recommended this one:
Cappuccino Punch (serves 16)
12 Cups Strong (double amt of coffee) Coffee (reg or decaf)
1/2 cup sugar
1 qt chocolate milk
2 qts coffee or vanilla ice cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Chocolate Shavings
Brew coffee, add sugar while hot to dissolve
Add chocolate milk, ice cream and vanilla
When cool, add cinnamon (or else it will clump)
Can be served like this with chocolate shavings on top OR serve frozen.
Stir well, freeze until the day before use. Defrost in refrigerator, break up the ice particles and pour into punch bowl. Top with chocolate shavings.
