Punch plays a large role in the history of cocktail creation and It's come a long way since British sailors concocted the beverage in the 1600s. When their daily allotment of beer went flat in the overheated cargo hold, the resourceful seafarers turned to local ingredients, which varied by location and availability: spirits, sugar, water/tea, citrus, and spices to make a tasty replacement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last few years have seen a resurgence of punch, and we’re excited to see it being offered anywhere from weddings to swanky cocktail bars! It’s a great option for any event large or small because of it’s ability to serve a crowd efficiently while maintaining a constant taste throughout the evening.
We pay tribute to this delicious form of large-batch cocktail by offering punch bowl service, served from our vintage crystal punch bowl alongside a traditional ice ring, it’s the perfect way to add a nod to traditional communal celebratory drinking at any event!
