Whether you are a boozed up host, or just looking for a great beverage to serve your guests, you can make some great alcohol punches. You can make them in wine glasses and jam jars which makes them great party favors. For a nonalcoholic punch you can make simple sugar syrup. A juice base can be used, such as limeade or lemonade. This is a good choice for those with diabetes or who watch their carbs.
In addition to the traditional champagne punch, you can also make a white wine sangria. This is a sweet and fruity drink that uses lemonade concentrate, mango nectar, guava nectar, and white wine. You can also make blue punch. For a brighter color, you can add some blue raspberry koolaid to make it more vibrant.
Another great way to make an alcohol punch is to use a tea base. This makes it much cheaper than soda. You can also sweeten it with fruit flavor syrup. You can get this at a liquor store or at coffee houses. Apricot nectar works great for Halloween parties and can be made into a fruity cocktail. You can also use tea if you want to make a nonalcoholic punch. A teaspoon of vanilla or another extract can also be added to your punches.
Another great choice is a fruit juice punch. If you prefer lemonade you can add ginger ale or iced coffee to it. You can make it pink with a little raspberry or pink Lemonade. You can also combine pink lemonade and raspberry with white grapefruit juice. This creates a beautiful pink color. Pomegranate juice is also an option.
Another popular punch are mimosas. These drinks are extremely popular during summer and are very easy to make. You can make a simple, refreshing lemonade by adding fresh mint. Orange koolaid, blueberry-flavored sparkling, or grenadine can be added. The lemonade can be replaced with 7 up to make a nonalcoholic version. To this punch, you can add 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
Although you can make a blue cocktail, it's best to not add it to a water fountain. The fizz from the drink will melt the pieces of ice, and you won't want to use a fountain with chunky items. You can serve the punch instead in glass jugs. This is the easiest way to serve your drink. It is also easier to clean up spills.
Another option is to make a sour-flavored punch. Pure red juice can be used to create a pink or red color. White grape juice or white cranberry can be used. This recipe can be used for brunch or luncheon.
To make a brunch cocktail, you can either use white grape juice (or white cranberry) base. Blue raspberry Koolaid powder can be added to the lemonade for a navy blue punch.

How To
How to make Manhattan's best cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Harry Craddock described the Manhattan in his 1930 book, "The Savoy Bar Book". You will find equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouths, gin, and whiskey in this cocktail. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. The Four Deuces cocktail was first created in the 19th century. It consisted of two measures whisky, two measurements of rye and two measures gin. Today, the original recipe is still popular among bartenders and drinkers alike.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both can be equally effective. Use equal amounts of each ingredient to make a Manhattan. You would use two shots each of rye and sweet vermouth. Four shots of dry vermouth is also recommended. Eight shots of vodka are sufficient. Mix all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
