And obviously, you'll also need a large bowl, but you should already have that if you hold parties at home.

Remember, the punch is flexible and blends well with a lot of things. So grab whatever you like, or feel will work well. Some things you can try include: vodka, rum, various fruit schnapps (watermelon, strawberry, peach etc.), Southern Comfort, etc. Remember, this isn't an exact science, so play around with what you like., and obviously things like root beer schnapps, or chocolate vodka would be unpalatable in a fruit punch.

Generally a ratio of 60 percent fruit punch to the rest alcohol is tolerable to most drinkers. Adjust to taste by trying a little bit. Add some optional fruit garnishes and serve. See the "Tips" below for variations that can quickly jazz up the punch. Edit Tips Both clear and dark liquors will work with the fruit punch. Add some fruity tame liquor like peach schnapps, along with some heavy hitter like Bacardi 151 to give your punch flavor and bite. To enhance the flavor even more, add some real juice to it. Something simple like orange, or more exotic like strawberry kiwi would work nicely. You can also use frozen concentrate instead of juice. Everclear (5 or 6 shots for a gallon of fruit punch) and Apple Pucker (about a cup or so per gallon of fruit punch) make a great punch. But be sure to go easy on the Everclear––it can cause drinkers to become drunk fast! If you add fresh fruit, such as pineapple, oranges, apples, watermelon, passionfruit, you get a yummy alcoholic snack with the drink too. Champagne works especially well with fruit juices, and mixed with spirits can barely be tasted, but pack a punch (no pun intended) Clear sodas like Sprite and Squirt add a nice kick of carbonation to your punch as well without changing the flavor a lot. Edit Warnings Don't put too much alcohol into it if you don't like it. Drink in moderation. Watch your mates. Send them home in a taxi if they have too much to drink.
