"I really enjoy making a big punch for a party. First of all it allows me to enjoy the party rather than being behind the bar the whole time (even though I like that too). It's also a fun way to mix up something new. I like to start off the punch with the old classic Fish House Punch structure. Starting with Tea, after that usually a combo of rum, brandy, citrus and sugar. At the end I like to mix in something to give it some funk or character. With this punch I kinda mixed the Jungle Bird with the Hemingway Daiquiri with the addition of Campari and Grapefruit. Lastly, top it all off with some bubbly to dry it a bit and add effervescence.
Phew! "
