Yusho's Pisco Punch

Pisco is grape brandy that hails from Chile and Peru. Like many classic punch recipes, Yusho's Pisco Punch includes tea—a sencha infused with coconut and pineapple, also a prominent flavor in the drink's gomme syrup.

Smoky Sage Punch

If you find yourself hosting a party this holiday season, surprise and delight your guests with this smoky tea punch.

Fizzy Gin and Lillet Punch

We threw a little shindig today to say goodbye to SE Ad Sales Director Erin Adamo. I mixed up this bubbly punch—it's a good brunch or predinner drink: a little tart, a little sweet, and a little more complex than you'd expect.

Chatham Artillery Punch

To finish off this roundup of recipes from Dave Wondrich's Punch, I have selected a monster. The big dog. The epic, party-starting, punch-to-end-all-punches: Chatham Artillery Punch.

El Diablo con Limón (Tequila Punch With Cassis and Lemon)

This punch has rich berry flavor from the cassis, and a potent pop of bright tartness from an easy no-cook lemon syrup. Tequila's herbal undertones keep it from tasting like just another berry soda.

Pimm's Melon Punch

This recipe from John McCarthy of the Greenwich Project (see our First Look here) brings out the spicy side of Pimm's with a cardamom syrup. Instead of the traditional cucumber you often see with Pimm's, this drink is made with fresh honeydew juice.

Smoked-Rosemary Rum Punch

Holding fresh rosemary over the flame of your gas stove (or a candle) lends savory, woodsy flavors to this rum punch. Gold rum adds a rich, velvety sweetness, while overproof rum contributes earthy, musky complexity.

The Varnish's Milk Punch

This historic punch recipe originates from a 1711 British recipe, but The Varnish's Max Seaman made some modifications for the modern day drinker.

Michael Neff's Gin-Applejack Punch

We asked Michael Neff of Ward III in Tribeca to design a cocktail that we could make in a big batch for our office cookie exchange party. The only ingredient we stipulated was applejack. But we didn't want typical fall flavors: no ginger or nutmeg, no cinnamon. Been there, done that.

The Modern's Long Rum Punch

This adaptation of a classic rum punch uses Earl Grey tea to add complexity to the rich and tropical drink, lightened with bitter lemon soda.
