Solstice Punch Recipe
Email
Deep in winter, when nothing will warm you up like a stiff drink and good company, you can pull out this punch. Mix up a batch and invite friends over. Of course, there’s nothing keeping this from being a year-round libation, so long as you can get your hands on some tangerines.
What to buy: Tuaca is a vanilla-flavored brandy made in Italy. It can be found in most high-end liquor stores.
Aperol is a bittersweet Italian concoction with flavors reminiscent of citrus and rhubarb. If you can’t find it, you can substitute Campari, though that will result in a drink that is decidedly more bitter.
This recipe was featured as part of both our story on The Return of Punch and our Punch Recipes photo gallery.
INGREDIENTS
- 5 cups Tuaca Italian liqueur
- 4 cups Aperol
- 3 cups Cointreau

- 2 cups freshly squeezed tangerine juice

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and stir until mixture is well blended and chilled, about 40 times. Pour over ice into a punch bowl, and serve over ice in a punch glass.
How many cups can you get out of a bottle of Tuaca? Wondering if I should double the recipe.
Aperol AND Tuaca? a drink after my own heart!
