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:
Personally, I like my punches fizzy. Team Mr. Muddled.
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.
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.
Hold me!
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!
