punch

One bowl, ten servings, and no standing behind the bar all night. These seven easy punch bowl cocktails are scaled for 10, with make-ahead notes so you can mix once, set out the ladle and enjoy your own party.

Sangria is forgiving, but random pours are why one pitcher tastes fresh and fruity while the next turns heavy, sweet or surprisingly strong. Start with one simple per-bottle formula, then adjust the fruit, brandy and sweetness without guessing.

One pitcher, ten glasses and no last-minute bartending. This easy rum punch is fruity, balanced and designed to be made ahead without becoming too sweet, too strong or watery.

Fresh, easy and made for sharing — these pitcher cocktails are perfect when you want the party to feel fun without spending the whole night mixing drinks. Make one batch, add ice, pour and enjoy.
