I forgot which champagne we used, though. It was affordable, but not cheap.<br /><br />Also, you want to make sure you use the shorter punch cups, not the gigantic solo cups or else you'll run out quickly and people WILL get smashed way too early, haha. We definitely had a good time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030163614368275578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532578800449052619.post-42594724503977226422011-04-27T02:07:47.848-04:002011-04-27T02:07:47.848-04:00Thanks!

I just hope it won't be too headache-y as many champagne drinks can be. Or, for that matter so strong that my guests get blasted before the party really gets going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532578800449052619.post-89193000945092226492011-04-21T14:19:32.336-04:002011-04-21T14:19:32.336-04:00Are you using a recipe directly from Wondrich'...Are you using a recipe directly from Wondrich's book or another one? I found the oleo-saccharum to lend a really amazing bright flavor to the punch and you don't want to skimp on the process for that. Wondrich recommends the peel of 12 lemons (minimal pith) and two cups of sugar, though I'm inclined to say that 2.5-3 cups is more appropriate to balance some of the bitterness from everything else.<br /><br />Also, make sure you know how to open a bottle of champagne (very slowly and carefully!). You don't want to lose half a bottle in an explosion =DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030163614368275578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532578800449052619.post-30034326487563880882011-04-21T02:19:23.683-04:002011-04-21T02:19:23.683-04:00Thinking of making this for an upcoming party.
