proud as PUNCH
 The role of punch was so important to home entertaining
that the expression "proud as Punch" emerged
from an era when the importance of showcasing
true hospitality was how one was judged.
Times have changed but the return to entertaining at home has led
to a rebirth of the Punch. |

From the traditional Champagne
Punches to the exotic Luau Punch
to the oddly named St Cecelia
Society Punch, we have plenty
of choices. Try our top Ten
Punches and our Top Ten Non
Alcoholic punches. |

Making a great punch can be
extremely complex, let us help you
make it simple and memorable.

There are two theories for the origin of the word,.you choose which
one you believe.

Create your own
Many punches are the multiple of single drinks.
In other words if you enjoy a Singapore Sling or a
Mai Tai there is nothing stopping you from taking the
basic recipe for those or other drinks and simply multiplying
the amount of ingredients needed by the number of servings
you wish to offer. Depending on the recipe you should
pay attention to the amount of ice, and to the amount
of mixer needed to ensure a good punch.
