I love that punch bowl. Is it available for purchase somewhere, or was it a one-off from an artisan?

Martha, I know this is a year late, but I believe it's the cake stand/punch bowl from Williams Sonoma. I have it and it's super handy!

@Diane, that sounds like the classic punch from Barbados.
My own punch is a Planter's Punch, with pineapple juice, orange juice, light and dark Jamaican rum and sparkling water. A float of grenadine is nice touch.

Last week I searched and searched for punch recipes to no avail so I invented my own. I tried to make a beautiful ice ring with sliced clementines and pomegranate seeds but boiling the water beforehand did not make a clear ice cube... It looked better as it melted. The recipe uses one of my favorite liquors, the Esprit de June brandy distilled from wine grapes and their flowers. It has a delicate, floral taste and beautiful package that makes you never want the cloying St. Germain

Excuse me... I'll continue. So I went with one bottle of cava to one cup of the brandy to a cup and a half of club soda for the punch and it was excellent. I also had a DIY old-fashioned bar and certain guests were happy to add maraschino cherries to their punch, which was a little horrific, but people love cherries, even if they haven't been spoiled by the Luxardo bug. It was also really easy to make more punch with those proportions when it ran out. I would also experiment with a sparkling rosé for the concoction.

My grandmother remembered punch this way: 1 of Sour, 2 of Sweet, 3 of Strong, 4 of Weak. I think it was more of a Caribbean-type punch, but it's certainly a no-fail recipe.
