Cocktail O’Clock: Blue Moon Brunch Punch
Ever hear of brunch punch? I didn’t until we visited my college friend in Baltimore. In preparation for a day of beveraging at the Preakness, she made us a brunch punch. This punch consisted of a mix of orange-pineapple juice, Malibu, and champagne. It was refreshing, while also giving you a bit of a buzz to start off your morning.
At the beach this past weekend, I decided to make my own version of brunch punch with one of my favorite beverages—beer. The result: positive reviews and an empty pitcher of my Blue Moon brunch punch.
At first I served the brunch punch with just the orange-pineapple juice, champagne, and vodka. But I realized we had Blue Moon in the fridge, and added that to the mix. Blue Moon particularly complements these flavors because of its citrus undertones and sweet taste. The punch actually tastes better with the beer—and I wasn’t the only one that thought such. Why didn’t I think to put this on the list?!
Blue Moon Brunch Punch
- 16 oz Orange-Pineapple Juice
- 1 Bottle of Champagne
- 1 Shot of Vodka (I used flavored vodka)
- 1 Bottle of Blue Moon
Mix all. Serve on ice and in the morning. Enjoy with friends! And as always—make this your own and let us know how it works for you!
