    The word punch means five, originating from the Hindustani word panch. Punch Daysadly isn’t an excuse to drink five glasses of punch; rather, it celebrates the traditional punch base recipe of five key ingredients, which most punches still use - alcohol (usually spirits), lemon (or other fruits), sugar, water, and tea (or other spices, e.g. cinnamon).

    Educational and involving alcohol - the best threads :thumbsup:
