Ideas for a vodka-based party punch?

We’re having a party for Jen’s birthday at the end of the month, and while plenty of wine will be open, we’d like a vodka punch as well, as I’m not going to make drinks for 40 people all night. Plus, it’s a disco party, so party punch is perfect!

A diluted LI iced tea might be fun. [wow.gif] [swoon.gif]

Diluted cosmopolitan?

I make my S/O vodka drinks:

Vodka (your choice))
Blood orange Juice (San Pelligrino)
Sparkling water/Club Soda
Fresh cut up oranges/lemons

Mix to taste, and put in one of these. Also leave the bottle of vodka, juice, sparkling water next to it so people can adjust to their own preference. 60% of the time…it works every time.


Nice - good call, Bone.

Awesome!

I would like to add…

Consider also adding some Torino Blood Orange syrup, Grand Marnier, Hibiscus liqueur, Cointreau, and a faint suggestion of banana liqueur as bits of sneaky extra flavor in the mix.

I call our punch the Grand Bloody Banana, but the banana is so far back in the mix, it’s a subliminal flavor.

I’m confused by ‘blood orange juice’, however, since it is San Pelligrino - wouldn’t that be blood orange soda, already sparkling?

Yes. I’m sure you can find other “blood orange juices/sodas” where you shop. I just prefer San Pelligrino (but again I’m just making cocktails for one, not 40.)

I also like to add plain sparkling water/club soda on top of it.

so you do mean blood orange soda, not ‘juice’, correct? Like this stuff?

Bingo.

Absolute cilantro + lemonade + club soda for something refreshing.
