About Rose Punch
Punch has been shared at gatherings since the 1600s, when it first traveled from India to Europe. The name comes from the Hindi word panch (“five”), for the original five ingredients: spirits, sugar, citrus, water, and spice. Rose Punch is a modern take, built on white wine, grenadine, lemon juice, and ginger ale—light, fizzy, and ideal for parties.
Ingredients Spotlight
White Wine
A crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, forms the base. Its dry character keeps the punch refreshing rather than heavy.
Substitute: Non-alcoholic white wine or sparkling grape juice for a zero-proof version.
Grenadine
This pomegranate syrup adds both sweetness and the rosy color. It balances the lemon juice and rounds out the wine.
Substitute: Pomegranate juice or raspberry syrup for a lighter option.
Lemon Juice
Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides acidity that cuts through the sweetness, giving the punch a clean finish.
Substitute: Lime juice for a sharper citrus twist.
Ginger Ale
Carbonation adds lift, and the ginger spice complements both the citrus and wine.
Substitute: Club soda plus a splash of ginger syrup, or ginger beer for a bolder kick.
Why Make It
Rose Punch is festive, easy to batch, and visually striking with its pink hue. The balance of wine, citrus, and fizz makes it a crowd-pleaser for weddings, summer parties, and holiday gatherings.
