We have all seen the depiction of parties in American high-school dramas that invariably had something called the 'punch bowl' filled with a bright-coloured drink that everyone is suspicious of being spiked. Fruit punch refers to a drink that may be alcoholic or non-alcoholic and that contains fruit juice. Commercially available fruit punches may not contain any real fruit at all. But you can very easily make these fruity drinks at home and serve at parties. Whether it's a kiddie party or a get-together of college buddies and/or colleagues, fruit punches may fit the bill just right. You can make them in large quantities and serve your guests at house parties. Of course, if it's a gathering of grown-ups, you would find the punch spiked with an assortment of alcoholic drinks like rum and wine.
