Punch recipes combine various fruits, juices, and other flavorful ingredients into one bowl for an easy and refreshing beverage that can be served to a crowd.

Whether you’re hosting a small gathering of friends or a larger party, new years punch provides an enjoyable way for everyone to toast the new year together. The recipes allow hosts to spend less time mixing individual drinks and more time socializing with guests. People of most ages can enjoy the fruity flavors of punch, making it a great option for celebrations including both kids and adults.

Badass New Year's Champagne Punch
As the name suggests, this “Badass” New Year's champagne punch is truly that, with several bottles of differently-flavored liquors and two big bottles of rose champagne for more bubbles and joy. It's fruity, hearty, and garnished with plenty of sliced fresh fruit for an exquisite and party-ready presentation aimed to please.

New Year’s Eve Champagne Punch
The New Year’s Eve champagne punch is full of flavor, made with pink champagne, triple sec, blackberry brandy, Chambord, pineapple juice, and ginger ale. If you can't find any of those ingredients, you can supplement with a similar liqueur. For example, another raspberry liqueur works in place of Chambord or another flavored brandy if you can't find blackberry. The result is a bubbly and berry-flavored punch, garnished with raspberries.

Bourbon & Vodka Spiked Party Punch
The double threat of bourbon and vodka gives this punch its power and is a nice variation from the typical champagne-based treats you usually get around the New Year. Bourbon and vodka play nicely with ginger ale, lemonade, and orange juice for a fruity, deceptively strong drink you can garnish with orange wedges.

Holiday Punch
Of all the New Year's punch recipes on this list, this holiday punch gets an extra layer of flavor from an unconventional ingredient; almond extract. You can make it with booze or alcohol-free, so it's ideal for mixed group parties or gatherings with children. The pomegranate cranberry juice base is tart and heady, and ginger ale lends a bit of lightness to the mix.

Rainbow Sherbet Punch
So simple, so pretty, and so delicious, rainbow sherbet punch only requires three ingredients you might even have on hand in your kitchen. All you need is the Hawaiian punch of your choice, Sprite, and a few scoops of rainbow sherbet on top. It's a true crowd-pleaser that will bring out the inner child in all your guests. You can even throw in a dash of flavored vodka to boot!

New Year's Eve Berry Champagne Punch
Use any champagne you might have on hand for this berry-heavy New Year's Eve berry champagne punch with brandy and chambord. Although you can make a big batch for parties, it's also perfect for serving individually with a few berries at the bottom of each glass. Make sure this one is ice-cold and present it in highball glasses or flutes.

White Cranberry Punch (No Alcohol)
White cranberry punch is the essence of winter holidays with its strong cranberry flavor and hints of crisp apple. The recipe combines sprite, white cranberry juice, sliced apples, and cranberry ice cubes to create a refreshing, fruity drink that people of all ages can enjoy. I like to freeze my apple slices to help keep the punch cold.
Prosecco punch includes multiple kinds of fruit juices, wine, white tea, and simple syrup to create a deep red, sweet, and fruity drink that your guests will rave about. The port wine brings in flavors of berries, while the prosecco brings in some citrus notes that mesh well together with the cranberry juice. I love the little caffeine kick from the white tea.

Hurricane Party Punch co*cktail
Hurricane party punch can be a non-alcoholic or an alcoholic punch, depending on what you’d like to include. The base consists of orange juice, lime juice, pineapple juice, and passion fruit syrup. You can then add grenadine or rum. I love how the passion fruit syrup balances the acidic taste of the other ingredients by adding a tropical sweetness to the punch.

Cranberry champagne punch simply combines sparkling wine, cranberry juice, and orange liqueur to create a tart and slightly sweet beverage that everyone will love. It also has a mesmerizing red coloring to it, making it a beautiful addition to your drink table. I highly recommend adding frozen cranberries for garnishing and keeping the punch cold.

The Best Rum Punch Recipe
Rum punch contains a few fruit juices, 7UP soda, and rum to create a deliciously sweet drink. Rum has a hint of sugar-like sweetness to it, making it the perfect addition to tangy and acidic punches like this. I like to add in some frozen cranberries, orange slices, and pineapple pieces for garnish and added taste.This punch almost tastes like it has no alcohol in it, so drink carefully.
