What is a whiskey and fruit punch?

A whiskey and fruit punch is a simple two ingredient cocktail packed with sweet fruit flavor that is combined with the vanilla, caramel and oaky flavors of whiskey as it goes down. This one is perfect as a single serving or as an entire punch bowl at a large get together.

Whiskey is a dark liquor that is made by distilling grains. There are many different varieties of whiskey. Some of the typical grains used in different varieties are wheat, rye, corn and barley. Whiskey typically has a slightly oaky and caramel flavor.

You can use any type of whiskey in this cocktail. We recommend either a nice bourbon or an Irish whiskey as both are very smooth and compliment the fruit flavors well.

Fruit punch is a drink that is typically a very sweet and full of fruit flavor. There are several different varieties of fruit punches and different fruits can be used in each. Some typical fruits used are pineapple, apple, grapes and pears.
