  • ¼ cup ruby port

  • 1 ½ cups amontillado sherry

  • ¼ cup Cointreau

  • 2 chilled 750-ml bottles sparkling wine

  • 1 ½ cups brandy

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice

  • Ice cubes

  • ½ cup superfine sugar

  • Orange and lemon slices (for garnish)

Notes

When making a punch, opt for affordable, high-quality wines and spirits. For the sparkling wine, try Cava from Spain. If you don't have Cointreau stocked in your bar, try using Grand Marnier or another triple sec.
