Imagine a big glass bowl of fruity, frosty, thirst-quenching elixir. In "Punch," dozens of simple, delicious recipes are ready and waiting to add a lively dash of fun or a classic touch of sophistication to any get together. From a traditional summer's-here refreshing strawberry lemonade to innovative twists on Champagne punch for the holidays, liquid inspiration is close at hand. Add to that variations with or sans alcohol, and theres something for everyone to enjoy, from the citrus kick of a glass of Margarita Madness to a tasty mug of Coffee on the Cubes (complete with decadent dark chocolate shavings). Helpful advice on selecting the appropriate liquor and which punch bowl to use, and ideas for decorative ice rings and shapely cubes give punch added punch. For every season, every gathering, may your cup runneth over.
I Really Like this book. Just about each recipe comes with a non acoholic version which I like because now I can make the drinks for my children as well. Each drink recipe comes with a picture so you know exactly how your finish outcome is suppose to look. There is 34 drink recipes in the book. Some of the recipes you will find are: Sparkling mint & strawberry lemonade, Mango Tango, Dockside delight, Petal Punch, Mimosa Punch, Citrus cooler, etc. This is a wonderful book to add to any cookbook collection.
A must have!

A new friend was thoughtful and gave this book to me as a gift. I love it! The recipes are simple to assemble, oh-so-yummy, and the photos of each drink are gorgeous. Includes alchoholic and non-alcoholic recipes and tips for serving and presentation. Last year (before owning this book) I hosted a large Easter gathering and wanted to offer a special drink to my guests. My incessant internet and cookbook search to find the perfect drink for 30 people at Easter came up with practically NOTHING. The very few drink recipes I did find were not what I had in mind. Either the flavors weren't right, it wasn't a "pretty" drink and/or I would have been standing at my bar all day mixing individual drinks. This book would have been the answer! Punch offers a TON of drink options and I wish I would have been lucky enough to have met my new friend sooner. A must have for anyone who enjoys hosting parties...and great to have on hand for baby showers, bridal luncheons, ladies groups, etc. You will love owning this book and will put Martha to shame when you serve up one of these delicious, beautiful drinks to your guests.
