Hello lovely tPFers!


I am getting married in a few weeks and am looking for a good champagne punch recipe. Everything I have found so far is kind of...boring.

We are having a very simple cake and punch reception, so I would like to serve a lovely, tasty punch. I want it to be a champagne punch, because I think I need to get a wee bit tipsy to deal with certain family members. (Of course, there will also be a booze-free version for the underage and delicate guests )

So...if anyone has a recipe that they use and can recommend....post away!

TIA!


Whoops! Forgot to add...no cranberry juice (which seems to be in lots of recipes). I can't have it.

Definitely let us know which one's you end up using.

The absolute punches include super-fresh juices. Freshly squeezed oranges, limes, lemons. Frozen/bottled juices taste stale.

Use fresh fruit squeezed fresh and added to fizzy water (not ginger ale or any of that sweetened crap) and you will have a winner!

Fruit to consider: lemons, limes, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pomegrinites.

This one is delicious. Just replace the sprite with champagne. Hope you like it! My sis got married last week and I used this recipe for her shower the month before.
