Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best rosé for a punch?

A dry, still rosé wine is the best choice for this punch. Its crisp, light flavor serves as a great base and will not make the cocktail too sweet. Avoid sparkling rosé as the added carbonation from the sparkling water will provide all the fizz you need.

How do I make a large batch of punch for a party?

This recipe makes 12 servings and can easily be scaled up. Simply double all the liquid ingredients and use a larger punch bowl or drink dispenser. Just be sure to add the sparkling water right before serving to keep the punch from losing its fizz.

What is the difference between a cordial and a syrup?

A cordial is a non-alcoholic concentrated beverage made from fruit juice or syrup, often with added flavoring. While similar to a simple syrup, a cordial typically has a more complex flavor profile with a richer, fuller body that makes it an ideal mixer for cocktails.
