Punch recipes can be as simple as any spirit mixed with citrus juice, sugar, and water, but we all know that punch can get as ornate as the vintage cut-crystal serving bowl you picked up at a garage sale last year. Some of these large-format drinks add tea or spiced syrups, or layer in lemon and orange fragrance in the form of an oleo-saccharum. Some are served warm—or even flaming. And while there are lots of big-batch cocktails for serious sipping on Epicurious, the recipes below are largely designed to be easy-drinking, festive, and sometimes fizzy, ideal for pairing with party snacks or a mountain of Christmas cookies. Grab that punch bowl and scroll down to find the best punch recipes to fill it.
