Help!

I need help. I'm serious. We are having a superbowl party and I need a punch recipe. Alcoholic, of course. DH, nutbag that he is, thinks that punches need to be fizzy, and he has so far nixed all my ideas. I need more ideas!

Help me please. Give me your best punch recipe.

I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns

Re: Help!

  • Jack and a closed fist to the face.

    But seriously, planter's punch is an old faithful if you're not into fizzy:

    • 1/4 cup(s) orange juice
    • 1/4 cup(s) dark rum
    • 2 tablespoon(s) pineapple juice
    • 1 tablespoon(s) Amaretto liqueur
    • 1 tablespoon(s) grenadine
    • Crushed ice
    • Orange rind (optional)

    Personally, I like my punches fizzy. Team Mr. Muddled.

    This is my siggy.
  • I knew I could count on you, Bowies.

    BUT, if you like your punches fizzy, why did you give me a non-fizzy recipe? Team Mr. Muddled, my ass.

    I honestly don't care if my punch is fizzy or not as long as it tastes good. He's the picky one.

  • Sometimes I sub in Orangina for the orange juice. That's the fizzy one, right? Or am I thinking of Italian soda?
    This is my siggy.
  • I don't care as long as there's lime sherbet floating in it and some guy who wants to try to score with me later.

    Hey now. This is going to be a classy party.

    Rainbow sherbet it is.

  • I don't know anything about making punches, but can't you just throw a bottle (or two) of champagne in the mix for fizz?? Or ginger ale, but I'd prefer some bubbly booze!

    Yes, I can. But he's being a PITA about that too and says he doesn't want champagne in it. He's about to be all on his own on this one.

    I have found several delicious recipes. For example, this one:

    and this one:

    and he's being a butthead.

    Uh oh - the superbowl is already turning him into a monster before it even starts??

    Something like that.

  • I made a margarita punch for Joaquin's birthday that was both super delicious and ridiculously alcoholic.

    2 cans of limeade & lemonade concentrate

    1 can orange juice concentrate

    2 cups of tequila

    1/2 c triple sec

    8 cups of water

    half a 2 liter of sprite or ginger ale

    I also halved and froze some citrus to float in it instead of ice.  Festiiiive!

    There's fizz. There's alcohol. There's no champagne. There's no sherbet. 

    This could be a winner!
