1) Stick to the old punch formula - "one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak."
2) Make the perfect garnish for your punch by freezing fruits or cucumbers or herbs into ice blocks. Immediately raises your punch game. I like to check out my local farmers market for good ideas. The farmers know their foods and how to pair them. For example check out your local Edible magazine for some good locations near you. @ediblehouston is my choice.
3) White spirits like gin or vodka work best in summer punches as they are not overpowering. One of my new favorite punch additions is the Deep Eddy flavored vodkas like grapefruit or lemon for refreshing summer punches.
4) Use quality ingredients. Just because it's going in a punch is no reason to skimp on quality. Guests will know the difference.
5) Let your punch shine by using glass or crystal bowls for colorful punches or copper bowls for less colorful punches.
