To serve as a regular punch for parties, mix everything together in your punch container and if you’d like add some pineapple slices to float on top.

4. Punch Recipe Alcoholic: Margarita Punch

We all love tequila shots, so you’ll probably love its big brother drink the margarita.

This is a slight spin on a classic margarita recipe and is one of my favourite alcoholic punch recipes. It’s got a great lime-led sweet and sour taste to it, which really brings out that tequila taste we all know too well. This co*cktail punch recipes is a must-try for your party!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups triple sec
• 4 cups tequila
• 2 cups lime juice (fresh is best, if not lime juice designed for co*cktail mixing)
• 1/2 cup simple syrup
• For some extra sweetness that’ll also bring out that tequila taste add a dash of agave (optional)
• Top off with some lemon-lime soda (e.g. Sprite) to your taste, or leave it as it is

Suppose you’d like to serve this in cups such as margarita or martini glasses, or even just a regular tumbler, half rim the glass using some lime juice and salt. Then, mix the ingredients together in a shaker, leaving out the lemon-lime soda and agave and pour into a glass.

Lemon lime soda dulls the overall taste a little more, which is good for a punch, but the single-serve punch recipe alcoholic co*cktail is better left alone.

To serve as a punch for parties, mix everything together in your punch container.

5. Long Island Iced Tea Punch co*cktail Recipe

The Long Island Iced Tea needs no introduction. This is one of the top co*cktail punch recipes.

This is one of the best alcoholic punch recipes if you have these spirits to hand.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup tequila
• 1 cup triple sec
• 2 cups sweet and sour mix (can also increase or decrease by 1 cup if you plan on adding less cola)
• Top off with as much cola as you’d like – for a punch, I’d recommend at least 2 cups

To serve as a punch, add everything into your punch container and mix together.

To give it more of a punch-like feel, add a fair amount of the cola.

For an on-the-rocks tall punch recipe alcoholic co*cktail in a glass, just add enough cola to fill the glass to the top after adding all the other ingredients.
