Pineapple Rum Punch

This tropical punch gets its flavor and fragrance from ripe, fresh pineapple, which infuses a simple syrup for a few hours (or overnight.)

Planter's Punch

Hold the sweet juices and the pineapple; a traditional Planter's Punch is a clean, icy drink of rum, lime, and bitters.

Ultra-Tropical Piña Colada

Taste the tropics, not ice water.

Fizzy Strawberry Pisco Punch

This make-ahead punch is mouthwateringly tart and slightly fizzy, juicy and a little herbal, thanks to fresh strawberries, thyme, and Bonal, a flavorful French aperitif that's bittered with cinchona and gentian.

Celebration Fruit Punch

This Celebration Fruit Punch is sparkling, colourful and refreshing rather than overly sweet. Perfect cocktail for Christmas, New Years Eve and parties!

Suns 'n Roses (Rum and Stone Fruit Punch)

This porch-appropriate summer sipper is rich and mellow but not too sweet, thanks to a balance of fresh and dried stone fruit, aged rum, and lemon. Adapted from a recipe created by Tommy Quimby for San Francisco's Rich Table, it captures the flavor of ripe peaches and apricots in a simple blended syrup. A little white tea adds volume and delicate floral flavor.

Ti' Punch

Ti Punch has only a few ingredients and is extraordinarily simple to prepare. The Ti Punch looks much like a daiquiri or a caipirinha, but the distinctive flavor of rhum agricole makes this a particularly musky and rugged drink. Using a white agricole is traditional, though the aged agricole, or rhum vieux, are a bit more user-friendly for the agricole novice.

Make-Ahead Fig and Cinnamon Punch

This warmly spiced rum punch, adapted from bartender A. Minetta Gould of Ste. Ellie in Denver, balances the bitterness of black tea with the nutty sweetness of dried figs and Madeira.

Pisco Punch

Described by Rudyard Kipling as "compounded of the shavings of cherub's wings, the glory of a tropical dawn, the red clouds of sunset and the fragments of lost epics by dead masters," Pisco Punch is a legendary drink from late 19th century San Francisco.

Mistletoe Punch

This recipe from Alex Bookless of The Passenger in Washington, DC makes a festive party-sized punch for holiday entertaining.
