This is a simpler version of the New Year’s Eve punch and my personal favorite. It is lower in alcoholic content than the Silvesterpunsch (avoid those hangovers!) and very pleasant to drink.
Difficulty: Easy.
Preparation Time: Very little, but best started one day in advance.
Portions: About 10 as specified, can be adjusted.
Ingredients:
- One 24 oz can or two smaller cans of canned fruit (strawberries, sliced peaches or pineapple chunks).
- 750 ml bottle of white wine (preferably Riesling).
- 750 ml bottle of champagne (not too dry).
- Sugar.
Preparation:
- One day in advance: Put the canned fruit and the white wine into a large punch bowl. Keep in refrigerator until shortly before serving.
- When ready to serve, add chilled champagne to punch bowl.
- Add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, to taste.
- Ladle into punch glasses including pieces of fruit. Serve chilled and provide cocktail spears for the fruit pieces.
The quantities given above will be appropriate for about 3 to 4 persons. Multiply for larger parties.
