How to Serve Punch

1. Select a large, airtight container to serve your punch in. This can be anything from a clear pitcher or punch bowl to a decorative beverage dispenser.

2. Next, decide on the ingredients you will use for your punch. Some classic options mentioned above include apple cider, sweet and sour mix, whiskey, triple sec, Sprite®, water, orange juice, lemon slices, maraschino cherries, and ice.

3. Once you have your ingredients ready to go, start by combining them in your large container. Stir the mixture well until everything is fully blended together.

4. If desired, chill the punch for at least 2 hours before serving so that all of the flavors can blend together nicely. This will also help keep it cold if you are serving outdoors or somewhere without air conditioning.

5. Before serving your punch to guests at a party or gathering, fill glasses halfway with ice and pour in some of the bourbon rosemary punch. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh rosemary, if desired. Enjoy!

6. When setting up your punch bowl or dispenser, be sure to place it in a central location that is easy for guests to access. This can either be on a table near where people will be sitting at the party, or on a bar cart or countertop if you are hosting more of an informal gathering.
