Punch Bowl Recipes

Making a festive punch beforehand allows you to set out the drinks and have your guests self-serve. A Punch is beautiful, too.



A Hot Rum Punch from NY Times:

12 to 16 servings

By my favorite “culinary cutie,” Melissa Clark

Ingredients:

4 to 5 lemons

1 tangerine, tangelo or other thick-skinned, small citrus fruit

¾ cup Demerara sugar

1 ¼ cups amber or aged rum

1 ¼ cups Jamaican rum (preferably 100-proof)

1 cup cognac

Freshly grated nutmeg, as needed

Method:

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest of 2 lemons and the tangerine in strips. Drop into a large heatproof bowl (or use a fireproof bowl if you plan to set the punch on fire) and combine with sugar. Muddle together with a muddler, pestle or the back of a wooden spoon. Let mixture sit for at least 3 hours to infuse (or infuse overnight).

Halve the tangerine and squeeze juice into a measuring cup. Halve lemons and squeeze lemon juice into the measuring cup to make 3/4 cup juice in total. (Save any unsqueezed lemon halves for another purpose.)

When ready to serve, bring 1 quart water to a boil. Pour rum and cognac into the bowl with the sugar and peels. If you want to flame the punch, do so now; see note below.

Add reserved citrus juice and boiling water and stir well. Grate nutmeg over top of punch and ladle into glasses.

I made this spooky punch for a Halloween lunch -- and you can adapt for the big game. The dry ice is a dramatic touch! See the punch recipe here from my previous posting on Garden Glamour



Desserts:
Here you can serve up anything and everything from a layered trifle bowl:

Or serve football and marker lollipops to ice cream sandwiches -

or make self-serve ice cream sundaes with all the fixings artfully displayed on the serving table or bar. Use your favorite ice cream bowls or fruit or coconuts.

Create a super tablescape - use cloth napkins for the meal and cocktail napkins in the team colors: red, white & blue - and green.

Lay out the food with fresh flowers and at various heights. Remember - the eyes eat first.

And you’ll want your guests to be “bowled over” with your tablescape and hospitality.

How glamorous...

Cheers.  And may the best bowl win.
