Easy Peach Punch Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water and add the sugar, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the peaches and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the peaches and about 1 cup of the liquid to a blender and blend until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Transfer the blended liquid to a pitcher to cool slightly, then add the bourbon. Refrigerate until very cold.
• When ready to serve, add ice cubes to the pitcher and serve in rocks glasses with more ice.

Steps:

• Heat the sugar with the lemon zest and 100ml water until the sugar dissolves. Cool, pour into a jug and add the wine, lemon juice and schnapps.
• When ready to serve add plenty of ice and the fruit and top up with the soda or tonic to taste.

Steps:

• Non-Alcohol Version: omit schnapps and vodka. Replace with 1 1/2 cups peach nectar.
• Combine all ingredients in a pitcher. Refrigerate covered until cold. Serve over ice in tall glasses or fill a small punch bowl. Double or triple the recipe for a large bowl.
• If serving in glasses, put a small scoop of vanilla ice cream or orange sherbet on top. Float scoops on top of frozen juice rings in the punchbowl.

Steps:

• Thaw peaches at room temperature without draining.
• Blend or process peaches and juice with sugar until smooth.
• Add to a 2 quart pitcher, stir in orange juice and lemon or lime juice (can be made the day before and refrigerated).
• At serving time, slowly stir in champagne or sparkling wine (or pineapple juice).
• Serve over ice cubes, crushed ice or double the recipe and use an ice ring.
