Great New Year’s Eve Punches Made with Honeybells

A few years ago making unique cocktails was very trendy, now the trend is making delicious and exotic punches. More and more people are entertaining at home to save money, especially on New Year’s Eve when people prefer to stay off the roads. This year use Honeybells to make your own exotic and unique New Year’s punches that will impress and delight your friends and family. You can make several different alcoholic and non alcoholic punches and save money by serving punch instead of setting up a full bar. Making punch is a bit of a lost art, but you can revive the tradition by creating some of these delicious punches and using Honeybells to put your own unique spin on them:

White Sangria Punch – Unlike traditional Sangria this punch is light and refreshing thanks to the citrus juices in it. To make this punch combine a bottle of high quality white wine with raspberries, apple juice, a large quantity of Honeybell juice, Honeybell slices, a lemon and a lime. Combine them all in a large, chilled punch bowl. You can use ice to keep the punch cold or freeze some Honeybell juice in an ice cube tray and use the frozen juice to chill the punch throughout the night.

Ginger Honeybell Champagne Punch – Give classic champagne punch a delicious gourmet twist with this exotic punch. Mix a bottle of high quality champagne and a cup or so of vodka with the juice of several Honeybells and some very well chopped crystallized ginger. You can also add some ginger ale to bring out the ginger flavor. You can use a flavored vodka, such as an orange vodka, if you want. You can also use a Honeybell Ginger sorbet placed in the punch bowl to chill the punch and add a concentrated flavor boost throughout the night. The Honeybells will give the punch a rich citrus flavor that plays perfectly off the ginger and the champagne. Your friends and family will love this punch.

Orange Blossom Punch – Using Honeybells in this traditional punch gives is a unique flavor that really brings out the citrus taste. Mix several cups of fresh Honeybell juice with some Cointreu, brandy and champagne. Pour in some sparkling water or ginger ale and use some sliced Honeybells or candied Honeybell peel as a garnish. This punch is very potent, so make sure that your guests know it’s a serious punch for people who like to drink.
