Make our fruity, spiked punch for your next celebration. Or omit the rum for a refreshing mock-tail. Mixing up and serving boozy beverages from a pitcher makes doling out libations so much easier, and much more practical than hand-crafting each one. For the best results, chill all of the liquids several hours before your guest arrive. When it’s time to start the party, just dump and stir and allow your guests to pour themselves so you can mix and mingle. For a pretty presentation, use a clear pitcher and stir in orange, grapefruit and lime slices and sprigs of fresh mint or rosemary.
