Test Kitchen-Approved
Author Notes: Based off of a raspberry-ginger-bourbon drink I had once, this punch balances summer fruitiness with the heft and moodiness of bourbon and Campari. Because I like my punch to be carefree yet thoughtful. And because it's punch, well, it should pack a punch. But still be elegant. Punch, apparently, is really just a study in balanced contrasts. —fiveandspice

Directions
Southern Belle Punch
- In a pitcher, combine the bourbon, Campari, raspberry syrup, and lemon juice. Stir well with some ice.

Raspberry Syrup
- Combine all the ingredients with one cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, smooshing the raspberries with a spoon to release their juices. Simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes, until the raspberries are broken down and saucy. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer. Allow to cool before using.
