Punch-Up Your Opening Day

Our Birds are back. And so are punch bowls! Punch is a wonderfully low-maintenance cocktail to serve so you can enjoy the game while guests help themselves.

If you’re having an opening day get-together, we have a great all-purpose punch that looks decorative and festive in a punch bowl on a buffet. Its red color makes it great for your Cardinals gathering or really any celebration!

Cardinal Punch

Combine:

  • 2 cups chilled pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup chilled cranberry juice
  • 1 cup vodka
  • 1 cup orange-flavored liqueur such as Cointreau
  • 1 cup chilled club soda
  • 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup in a punch bowl.

Serve in cups over ice with your choice of citrus garnish.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and substitute orange juice for the orange-flavored liqueur.

If a punch bowl is not your speed, try this World Series inspired recipe for a Hurricane. We know that the redbirds will end up in the Fall Classic, so we might as well start the celebration early.

Please drink responsibly and Go Cards!
