If you’re thinking about hosting a New Year’s Eve party, I’m willing to bet you’re on the lookout for champagne punch recipes. After all, champagne is pretty much the only New Year’s Eve tradition that everybody agrees on—and punch is a guaranteed way to make any party better.

I’ve been in your shoes—heck, I’ll be in ’em again come December 31—and let me tell you: While technically anything you put in a bowl or pitcher with sparkling wine counts as a champagne punch recipe, that’s no guarantee that said punch will actually taste good. A truly great punch is simple but balanced, with some sour to cut the sweet and enough flavor to keep people coming back for more.
That’s not to say that all champagne punch recipes follow the same formula. The less boozy ones are made with champagne and soda or juice, and are great for getting guests through a long night. Others get a little extra ABV from add-ins like limoncello, triple sec, vodka or gin—they can be lethal, but sometimes that’s just what you need.
