Cross something off your prep list and throw 3-4 ingredients into a punch bowl or pitcher for the easiest batched cocktail you can think of. We’re sharing four punch/pitcher recipes just in time for the holidays!
Our method is simple; 2oz. of spirit, 1oz. of Iconic Mixer, 1/2oz of tart. This ratio can be easily expanded out to make a simple and delicious punch. Think of it this way:
- 2 c. of spirit
- 1 c. of Iconic Mixer
- ½ c. of tart (lemon, lime, grapefruit juice)
- 2 c. of sparkling water
Makes 8-10 servings
This is the start of a well balanced cocktail that can be made one time and served to your guests with ice. We encourage you to be creative! Add fresh fruit and herbs for garnish, use tea instead of sparkling water, or replace it with sparkling wine for an extra kick. With your favorite spirit and any one of our mixers, this ratio will create a cocktail that will be sure to impress.

TIPS AND TRICKS

- Serve with ice on the side to avoid the cocktail getting watered down.
