Another week down — time to celebrate from afar with this bright, citrusy vodka punch that’s perfect for serving a crowd!
Full disclosure: I’m scrambling to finish my taxes. I thought I had it under control after hiring someone to help, but then I noticed a tiny note about a “100S” form. Turns out that form is my responsibility as the owner of Boxwood Avenue. Cue a very long night of paperwork, tears, and dreaming about a party drink. The second I finish that form, I’ll be raising a glass and toasting to all of you with this refreshing punch.
I mixed this cocktail quickly for a small gathering after a floral arranging workshop at Petite Petal Co. With Kevin Chin photographing on film, every shot looked beautiful. The best part? This cocktail is as simple as it is stunning. A handful of ingredients, poured over ice, and you have a crowd-pleasing drink that keeps everyone happy all night. If you enjoy easy cocktail recipes, you might also like my take on Katie’s Secret Sangria.
Citrus Party Punch
Ingredients:
- 1/2 of a 750 ml bottle citrus vodka
- Juice from 2 oranges
- Juice from 2 limes
- 2 × 16 oz bottles of all-natural soda (such as lemon-lime)
- Soda water to taste (about 16 oz)
Instructions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and stir well. Serve over ice.
Tip: Keep the pitcher chilled by resting it in an ice bucket so the punch stays cold without diluting quickly.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend — I’d love to see your plans on Instagram! Tag your photos with #toastingfromafar or #sipswithboxwood so I can raise a virtual glass with you.
