Does anyone have a yummy (alcoholic) punch recipe?

My friend is having a suprise 40th birthday party for her boyfriend, and she was looking for a punch recipe.

Thanks!

This is delicious, but super potent:

Carribbean Rum Punch
1 cup fresh lime juice
2 cups simple syrup
3 cups amber rum
4 cups orange juice
pinch of nutmeg

Combine in pitcher and serve over ice.



And here's a classic Champagne punch:

1 quart orange sherbet
2 quarts fresh orange juice
1 (2 liter) bottle ginger ale, chilled
2 (750 milliliter) bottles champagne, chilled

Place the orange juice, ginger ale, and champagne in the refrigerator to get them well chilled.

In a large punch bowl, place the block of sherbet in the center and pour the orange juice over the top. Next, pour the ginger ale over the sherbet. Finally, pour both bottles of champagne over the sherbet. Stir gently to mix the liquids, resulting in a foamy top. Serve immediately.

you can use corn syrup, or you can make a simple syrup by cooking water and sugar until it forms a syrup.
