Sherry 'Woo Hoo' Punch
Party punch has all grown up! This is tagged Nuts because almond milk is among the ingredients
Who remembers drinking punch at children’s birthday parties? In my day these were usually toothache sweet, bright colors not found in nature, the product of a sugary-chemically pouch plus a 2-liter bottle of lemon lime soda. Maybe a few sad citrus slices floating on top.

Well, punch has all grown up now. It is one of the hot trends at chi-chi cocktail bars across the country. They’re also super-easy to make at home for your next Big Do -- ahem, Thanksgiving. Yes, a serve-yourself punch bowl on Turkey Day with the extended family might be just the ticket. Keep the mix light, to minimize the risk of over-indulging, but interesting.
Ilise made Sherry ‘Woo Hoo’ Punch for a dear friend's recent welcome home party. The flavors were assuredly grown up and oh so quaffable! This primo punch goes down easily and leaves a smile. 
Sherry Woo Hoo PunchIs it punch or a cocktail? Yes!
Hostess Tips: Punch is a great serve-yourself option for a party bar. Leave a bowl of garnishes and a stack of cups nearby as well as a sign with any key instructions – “Best over ice,” “Give it a stir first,” or maybe a skull and crossbones symbol if you want to indicate that the punch is SPIKED.  

Make an ice ring to chill the punch. Not only does it melt slowly, meaning less dilution of the punch, an ice ring can also hold pretty flowers, herbs or slices of fruit inside to add visual interest.

This adult beverage recipe works equally well in a punch bowl and cocktail format. You do you. Woo hoo!

The Verdict: This Sherry Punch is quite tasty, slightly sophisticated but not off-putting, a bit more complex than you might expect a cup of punch to be. You’ll want to take your time and enjoy this drink, not chug-a-lug it. Cheers to you!
