Best Champagne Punch Recipe

Jump to Recipe

This is the best champagne punch recipe. The only one you’ll ever need. It is my family’s go-to celebratory recipe and we’ve been serving it for years. But if you get the chance you really should serve it to your friends out in the middle of the desert. All the cocktails taste better when the skies look like cotton candy and the winter weather is warm! Champagne Punch recipe in bottles and glasses on a rock for an outdoor party. Serving champagne instantly has a way to make everything feel a little bit more festive. But tell a gal you’re serving champagne punch and she’ll have a huge grin on her face. This citrus-based recipe is full of bright flavors and is really easy to drink. I love that even non-wine lovers (I can’t believe there’s people that don’t like wine…) really enjoy this cocktail idea! That’s why it’s perfect for parties!

How to Make My Fave Champagne Punch Recipe

How to make a simple champagne punch recipe even if your party is outside. Since I was headed out to Palm Springs anyway, I thought it would be fun if I shot a recipe post while I was there. This is the type of stuff that is so fun for a creative person. So often I have these big ideas in my head but the logistics to pull them off are a little bit too much for one person, or on account of family time constraints. I was SO excited to be able to sneak away with Tammy and get to do something totally different.

Adding champagne to my favorite champagne punch recipeWhat I love about champagne punch recipes is that they work well for a crowd and because of all the other ingredients, you don’t need to splurge on the good bubbly. A super cheap bottle is perfect. And since this is SO yummy, you will need to make several batches. Know that going in and have several batches prepped ahead of time. Save the expensive bottles for sipping for a special occasion.

Slice citrus fruits for an easy garnish for your champagne punch.Usually, the garnish is some citrus slices. If you want to get crazy, you can add fresh raspberries. The pop of pink is a really fun touch. And edible flowers would be even more lovely.

If you love champagne punch you'll love this recipe!Although this is a punch and your natural instinct might be to run towards your standard punch bowl, you should change things up a bit. Here I decided to use a vase to serve the punch in. The shape was fun, it was plastic and perfect for serving outdoors.

One of my favorite things about entertaining is using things in new ways or doing things a little bit differently. Sometimes these little touches are enough to create a lasting memory for your guest. And as a host, that’s truly what we’re after.

Make champagne punch and serve it in something other than a punch bowl to keep things interesting. If your drink container doesn’t have a pour spout, just use a ladle to serve. It is punch after all! Punch bowls are gorgeous but not needed.

And this is a great way to make sure that all your guests can get their beverage quickly without having to wait for the ladle. By making extra batches ahead of time you can keep a few bottles in the fridge, ready to go, making your hosting duties a breeze.

To dress up the champagne punch recipe, even more, I created these simple leather and wire stir sticks. I think they came out really nice and added the perfect amount of flair to the drink.
