Punch Bowls

Parties Around Punch Bowls

Hosting an event with friends? Use a punch bowl to prepare a signature cocktail in advance. Look for a set featuring a ladle and punch cups for a uniform display. To determine the perfect blend, consult a cocktail or mocktail recipe book before preparing your ingredients. Consider an apple peeler, knife, and cutting board to slice fruits before you toss them in with the other punch ingredients. To brighten up the presentation, add edible flowers to the mix. Not only can punch bowls be used for fun drinks, such as punch or egg nog, they also serve as decorative centerpieces that coordinate with the current season or theme of the party. During brunch, as well as baby and bridal showers, accompany the refreshing drink with small bites arranged on a tiered server, from crostinis and frittatas to macaroons and other desserts. An elegant tablecloth, along with dessert plates and napkins, completes the look.
