Tips

You can also make an ice ring to place into the punch bowl to help keep the bourbon punch cold. Remember, it will dilute the punch as it melts, so keep a little extra bourbon handy to add as needed. Ice ring: 1 12-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate, 1 sliced orange, 1 sliced lemon, 1/2 cup maraschino cherries. Prepare lemonade according to the directions.

Pour the lemonade into a Bundt pan or a glass or plastic bowl. Lay orange and lemon slices in layers in the lemonade and top with maraschino cherries. Freeze overnight. To remove ice ring from the pan or bowl, place it in warm water in the sink until it loosens from the container. Place in a punch bowl and pour the punch over it.
