expensive for the results
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

By the time I bought all the ingredients this became quite an expensive punch. I was okay with that since all the reviewers... gave it 5 stars. I thought it was good, but neither remarkable or a keeper. The wonderful thing about this site is that we discover we all have different taste. I tried this, won't again, but would certainly not suggest you not give it a shot--it might be a 5 star for you.Read more

This punch is TOO good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this punch for my engagement party in late January. I thought it might be too summery and too simple to please my... friends' sophisticated palates. I was totally wrong! Both male and female guests loved this drink. I went through 2 batches, then started making batches with whatever ingredients I had left. I was in the kitchen all night! It was a big hit so we are serving it as the greeting cocktail at our wedding next month. Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for a New Year's Party once and everyone enjoyed! Luckily, we were able to make a second batch since the first one... flew! Now, it is a tradition that my boyfriend and I bring this champagne punch for the New Year's Party!Read more

Fabulously Delish!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This punch was a hit, I only had enough to make two batches but my guests wanted more so my neighbor ran to her house to get... more lemons and champagne. Truly a crowd pleaser. I forgot the orange juice in all three batches but it still tasted great and there wasn't a drop left. I will definitely try the frozen strawberries in the bottom of the bowl next time.Read more

I've made this punch for the past 5 Christmas' !!! Always 2 batches! The guests/& myself just can't get enough!!! Maybe... I better plan 3 batches the next time. I just read one of the reviews that says they put frozen strawberrys in the bottom of the punch bowl. I will try that this next Christmas. Read more

Party Pleaser!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this punch for our New Year's Eve gathering, and by the end of the night it had disappeared! It was definitely a... hit!!! The only modification I made was adding only 1.5 bottles of champagne per batch (we made 3!) instead of 2....Makes it just a little stronger;).Read more
