Ingredients
10 ounces peach liqueur
15 ounces bourbon whiskey
5 ounces fresh lemon juice
10 ounces club soda
Directions
Pour the peach liqueur and fresh lemon juice into a large pitcher.
Add half of the bourbon (approximately 7.5 ounces) to the pitcher and stir well to combine.
Taste the mixture to evaluate the strength and balance of flavors.
If you prefer a stronger bourbon flavor, add the remaining bourbon and stir to blend thoroughly.
Just before serving, top the punch with club soda and stir gently to incorporate the carbonation without losing the bubbles.
Serve the punch immediately into chilled glasses filled with ice.
Comments
A no-fuss punch that lives up to its five-minute claim and costs roughly $3 to $4 per serving depending on bourbon choice—affordable for a crowd. Peach liqueur and bourbon are shelf-staple finds at any major Charlotte chain (Harris Teeter, Kroger, Publix, Walmart all stock them), and lemon juice and club soda are pantry basics. This is a same-night, batch-drink formula that doesn't demand careful timing, precise technique, or constant tending once poured, making it ideal for entertaining without kitchen stress. The main caveat is that it's a boozy punch and won't suit an alcohol-free gathering, and the balance tips heavily on spirit quality—a bottom-shelf bourbon will taste thin.
