When I was home for my Father’s birthday a few weeks back, my mother planned a giant party that was full of family and longtime friends. It was a wonderful affair and a hell of a party. As we were prepping for the party, she told me she had found a punch recipe and I was in charge of making it. She tells me to get my phone and look it up. Then she tells me the name.
Mother’s Ruin Punch.
Ummm…. What?
For real. Mother’s Ruin Punch. Hilarious. So, I hop on my phone and find the Food and Wine site and make this punch.
It was delicious.
It was also incredibly alcoholic. This punch packs a serious punch. It made many a partygoer stumble on their way out the door. It tasted of gin and summertime. Apparently, gin has been known as “mother’s ruin” in UK slang for a very long time.
This punch is beautiful, yummy, boozey, and fun. Check it out. It would be an excellent addition to any summer party.
Mother’s Ruin Punch– as provided by Food and Wine
