The 12 Days of Cocktails: Prosecco and Port Punch

My mother’s side of the family has always been all about simple holiday drinks (or drinking anytime of the year for that matter): bubbles all around. While my father’s side was always kinda of old school with a giant bowl of punch. So I thought why not combine the two this year.?

Boozey Punches have been making quite a comeback in these days and there is no better time to try one than at a holiday family gathering. Trust me, all your relatives are more interesting with some punch. And besides, the best thing about a punch bowl full of a tasty beverage – it’s self serve. This allows you to be free to go about wrapping gifts or cooking. Or avoiding them all while they enjoy a glass or two or three or more.

Here’s a great punch I discovered from Ruffino Prosecco. This recipe can be made by the glass or by the punch bowl. Enjoy. You’ll thank me for it later.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
