Festive Pomegranate Punch

With people gathering to celebrate holidays, life, friends and family, it’s a good time to have a punch in your bag of cocktail tricks. Can you make individual cocktails for people? Of course you can! Heck, I even support this. You can also buy a case of beer, open a few wines and chill some champagne. These are all fantastic ways to entertain large groups. A punch though, that gives you a chance to break out the punch bowl! Tequila and Pomegranate Punch!

Now, some people find pomegranate juice a little strong, so I wanted to cut it with something sweet, but also seasonal. Fresh OJ, come to the party!

We had darker tones from the pomegranate and some bright citrus from the OJ — so it had to be something with character, but not overly heavy. Luckily, our friends over at Blue Nectar Tequila sent us some of their Reposado Extra Blend, so I knew we had the perfect candidate. Smokey, oaky, some vanilla, but enough character to stand out with these fall flavors. Yup, this was our alcohol for the punch.

With those three ingredients set, it was just about balancing their ratios and accentuating the perfect fall flavors. Continuing with a recent trend we’ve had, we made a cinnamon syrup — which is just your basic simple syrup that you make with the addition of cinnamon sticks.

Finally, we added a splash of lemon juice and orange liqueur, because obviously.

Combined together, fall in a glass! Or mug. Or all for yourself!
