Super Bowl Punches: Easy to Drink and to Store
Make your Super Bowl punches sparkle brighter and longer by waiting to add any bubbly ingredients just before serving them to your group. Take care to only do minimal stirring with any of those ingredients, so the punch doesn't fall flat, like some footballs in Foxborough. It is important that your punch is chilled, so try and use chilled ingredients and refrigerate the mix until the last minute, adding the ice when you're serving the punch to avoid any dilution of the mix. Most leftover punch mixes will last up to three days in the refrigerator in an airtight container, but strain out any garnishes or ice before storing.
Bring the Punch to the Super Bowl
Don't throw an incomplete pass by dropping the ball on the Super Bowl punch. You can craft a menu of crowd-pleasing flavors or have one or two for guests to choose from while they watch the big game. No more does anyone need to miss any critical goals, passes, or interceptions. Now that's a win.
