Start Your Weekend With A PUNCH!

It's National Punch Day!

Fruit punch & punch bowl

Yes, even that fruity beverage has a day of it's own. The word punch was thought to be derived from the Hindi word panch (meaning 'five') because of it's original five ingredients: liquor, sugar, lemon, water and tea. This beverage was sent to England from India, and eventually became widely popular across the globe.

Margarita punch & Alcoholic Hawaiian Punch

Most people enjoy nonalcoholic punch made with fruit and/or fruit juices, and is often served at gatherings in a punch bowl (go figure!). Nowadays, people add a little twist to their punches like adding ice cream for a creamier texture, or mixing soda for some carbonated goodness. And for those of you 21 and over, nothing puts a punch better than the perfect glass of margarita punch!

So grab a glass of your favorite punch and cheers to the weekend!
