Big basil berry bowl

A boozy fruit punch that's definitely not for kids. Make it ahead, garnish just before serving, and spend less time behind the bar and more time with the people you invited.

Make the day before:

Add to a blender and pulse to finely chop (but not purée):

  • 2 × 750mL bottle Laneway Far & Wide Whisky

  • 2 pints fresh or 1- 600g bag frozen sliced strawberries

Steep strawberry-whisky infusion overnight or at least 12 hours in the fridge. Before using, strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove any solid particles.

Assemble the day of your event:

Add the following to your punch bowl and stir to combine:

  • strained strawberry-infused Far & Wide Whisky

  • 250mL grenadine

  • 150mL fresh-squeezed lime juice

  • 500mL water

Just before guests arrive add to bowl and stir gently:

  • 10-20 basil leaves (or mint if you can’t find basil).

  • fresh lime wheels

  • 1x bottle of prosecco or cremant

  • ice

One drink = about 3 oz + ice

“Wow, this is actually delicious.”
