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!
