Bourbon Punch

Bourbon lovers get ready for the perfect Holiday Bourbon Punch recipe! This crowd-pleasing mix of bourbon, sweet tea, and citrus notes will bring seasonal spirit to your Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. Enjoy!

We put a bottle of Four Roses Bourbon in front of us and decided to make a holiday punch surrounding the smooth flavor of the bourbon. The bourbon has hints of pear and apple that compliment the floral aromas and are mixed with a taste of honey and spice.

This Holiday Bourbon Punch is perfect for the Fall and Winter hitting those taste notes of the seasons. I added apple cider and cinnamon-spiced orange tea to make this festive holiday punch.

We set out all of our favorite Holiday flavors on the table and spent the afternoon taste-testing to come up with the perfect holiday punch.

Tis the season to sip something special! When one of our friends said “It’s like the holidays in a glass!” we knew we had to bottle that sentiment. Carefully crafting the perfect combination of flavors, we created a delicious Christmas Bourbon Punch. It’s just the thing for your next holiday party—and it’s guaranteed to be a hit! Raise a glass and cheers to the season!

Notice the different pictures. I made this again because it is the best holiday punch recipe. A friend was having a pig roast and I brought the punch. I knew my bourbon punch recipe was a crowd-pleaser and made that batch with Knob Creek Bourbon.

Last year, this crowd went wild for it, and it’s no surprise – the punch is festive and makes for some stunning cocktails! Perfect for any bourbon-lovers gathering.
