Citrus Punch

Cookinero 11 Aug 2025

Traditional punch is most often an alcoholic drink with fruit juice, to which pieces of fruit, sugar or honey, various spices and herbs are added. Due to the popularity of the drink, its recipe is changing and supplemented: today it is prepared with or without alcohol, hot or cold, with fruits or berries and any spices. For non-alcoholic orange punch, take orange and apple juice, as well as the classic spices for this drink - ground nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.

Serve the finished citrus punch hot in a deep mug or hot drink glass.
