Punch with a kick

Whether for the December posadas, Christmas gatherings, or even for toasting on Christmas Eve or New Year's, this punch with a kick is the perfect drink, as it enchants us with its classic mix of fresh fruits and spices. Do you like punch with a kick?

Did you know? The origin of punch dates back to the colonial era in Mexico, where tropical fruits and hot water were mixed to create a comforting drink. Over time, sugar and spices were added, transforming it into the delicious mix we know today. In the case of punch with a kick, it is known as such because a touch of alcohol is added, but this time we chose rum.

Remember that punch with a kick is made with a variety of seasonal fruits, such as tejocotes, guavas, apples, and sugarcane. However, ingredients like tamarind, cinnamon, and hibiscus flower cannot be missing. The combination of these ingredients not only provides a sweet and spicy flavor but also offers an explosion of flavors and aromas.

If you need more reasons to make a pot of punch this Christmas, keep in mind that fruits like tejocote and guava are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. In the case of the apple, this fruit provides vitamin C and fiber. We also cannot forget to mention spices like cinnamon, which has anti-inflammatory properties.

It is often said that fruit punch originated in India, but the reality is that it has been prepared in Mexico for several decades and has become a treasure of Mexican gastronomy. It is usually served hot and with a piece of sugarcane during the December posadas, where Mexican food is enjoyed, and piñatas are broken. But if your party is more of a gathering with friends, then this punch with a kick is the perfect option to forget about the cold and toast. Enjoy responsibly!
