Champagne Punch Recipes
Champagne punch is seen most frequently at parties. Sparkling wine adds sparkle to a punch bowl. The champagne punch recipes are not etched in stone so feel free to experiment with the ingredient to suit your taste.
The primary function of sparkling wine in champagne punch is to add carbonation. The taste of the sparkling wine is insignificant compared to the other ingredients. Champagne punch tastes great with less expensive house blends or sparkling wine. Your best champagne should not be used in punch. Save your best to enjoy on its own.
