Notes
For Serving:
I have found that most guests tend to have 2-3 servings (6 ounces per serving) of punch. This may be more or less depending on if other beverages are being served and if your glasses are smaller or larger. This is just a good starting point. This punch recipe makes about 100 ounces of beverage and is usually a perfect amount for 8-10 guests. Feel free to double or triple the liquid portion of this recipe. You should only need to add more garnishes if people are actually eating them.
