CITRUS CHAMPAGNE PUNCH



Citrus Champagne Punch image

New Year's Eve is all about champagne, and this punch is fun for everybody involved. The secret is oleo saccharum-a citrusy, three-ingredient syrup that's hard to pronounce, but easy to make.

Categories     beverage

Time 8h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
1 grapefruit
2 lemons
1 c Oleo saccharum
3 ounces fresh lemon juice
3 ounces Pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
4 ounces gin
1 Bottle champagne (Cava)

Steps:

  • For the Oleo Saccharum: In a mixing glass, add sugar. Peel a grapefruit and two lemons in long, thin ribbons and add them to the sugar. Muddle the citrus peels, pushing the oils from the peel into the sugar. Over time, the oils will dissolve the sugar making a thick syrup. Cover and let rest overnight so the syrup can be fully infused with the citrus peels.
  • For the punch: Place the oleo saccharum into a punch bowl along with the lemon and pineapple juice and stir. Add gin and a bottle of champagne.
  • Place a large piece of ice into the punch (fill a plastic container with water, freeze, then unmold). Serve.

CHAMPAGNE PUNCH WITH BRANDY AND CITRUS



Champagne Punch with Brandy and Citrus image

Eye-opening notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit keep this festive punch from heading into ultra-sweet territory-and fresh mint seconds the motion. "Once the Champagne has been added," says Scott Peacock, "serve the drinks as soon as possible to experience the maximum tickle of bubbles."

CITRUS AND MINT CHAMPAGNE PUNCH



Citrus and Mint Champagne Punch image

Sent to me from Real Simple, love this site. A big batch cocktail that's finished with a sparkling splash. The beverage has just a few ingredients, but is very well balanced. The mint, lime, and lemon are a great pairing for floral, bracing champagne. And the gin packs a pleasant slightly bitter punch. We won't tell anyone if you decide to use your favorite Prosecco or other sparkling wine instead of true champagne. You can make the mint simple syrup up to a week ahead of time and refrigerate it in an airtight container. A couple hours before you serve it, stir the gin and citrus juices together with the mint syrup. Top the punch with champagne and garnishes at the very last minute.
