We made this punch for our second annual Kentucky Derby party. It was a hit! Not too strong, and the citrus was a great relief from the heat. Serve in a glass filled with ice.

Lucky Lemonade is a famous Derby-day cocktail, but making one by one when hosting a party is time consuming. This punch tastes exactly like the Lucky Lemonade served at Churchill Downs and is easily made (and should be made) the day before or morning of your big derby party!
