Friday Is National Punch Day!

And no, that doesn't mean Punch Somebody In the Face Day!

It's the yummier (and gentler) day to celebrate that fruity, refreshing drink called punch!  Of course, you could just purchase the Hawaiian variety at your local grocery store, but what fun would that be?

If you want to make a truly traditional punch, you need five ingredients:  spirits, lemon, sugar, water, and tea.  Of course, if you want to embellish, the sky is the limit!

Here is some Punch-y inspiration from the Hudson Valley Etsy Team to get your juices flowing (pun intended for sure).

Enjoy National Punch Day this Friday September 20th.
