Traditionally, hunch punch is mixed in a 5 gallon (19 l) cooler. If using one, make sure that it’s clean before pouring in the Everclear.
You can use a bottle of ready-made fruit punch or mix up your own using powdered drink packets. Just make sure that it adds up to 1 gallon of fruit punch. If you’re using additional bottles of Everclear in the punch, you’ll need to add more fruit punch as well. For every 750 ml bottle of alcohol, mix in 1 gallon (3. 8 l) of the fruit punch.
If you don’t want to use ice, you can refrigerate the fruit punch overnight to chill it before adding it to the alcohol.
You can combine the fruit punch with any two types of juice that you like. Other options to consider include grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, or pomegranate juice.
You can use any types of soda that you like in the punch, but fruity or light flavors tend to work best. Flavored seltzer is also a good option.
You can substitute another clear, neutral flavored grain alcohol for the Everclear if you prefer.
Don’t add ice to the punch. As it melts, it will water down the taste. Instead, add ice to the punch once it’s poured or pour it over ice to chill.
You can substitute any juice that you like for the pineapple juice. Orange, grapefruit, and cranberry all work well. You can mix whatever type of sliced fruit you like into the punch. For the best flavor, match the slices to the juice, though.
If you find that the punch is too strong, you can mix in a fruity soda, such as lemon lime, to dilute it.
