3 Vintage Punch Recipes – Southern Plate by Gordon Ramsay

Looking for something to take your get together up a notch? Never underestimate the dazzle of a special punch.

These three vintage punch recipes are family favorites that I reach for time and again.

Delicious Party Punch

This is everyone’s favorite. Don’t let the fresh fruit garnish fool ya, it’s as low maintenance as they come and pretty inexpensive to make as well. You can switch up one ingredient to make a myriad of colors so it matches whatever the occasion calls for. This is the punch we make on our annual cookie decorating night.

Vintage Iced Tea Punch

A classic straight from a 1929 Jewel Tea cookbook, I tend to think of this as my “Ladies event punch”. It has a wonderful mix of flavors and isn’t too sweet. The base flavor of iced tea makes it perfect for any occasion.

Wedding & Anniversary Punch

This is our special moments punch. We served this at all of our weddings, bridal and baby showers, anniversaries, etc. The brilliance of this punch is that you can make it ahead of time and then pour it in the punchbowl as needed, making it perfect for larger gatherings, although that doesn’t keep me from making it just for us from time to time!

I hope you enjoy these 3 vintage punch recipes and I do hope you’ll consider making one as family comes in to visit. It’s that one extra step that just makes a get together even more of an occasion to remember!

Be blessed and be a blessing!
