    This is a great punch recipe! It's very simple to make, nice flavor, good sweetness, but not too much. It might be easy to overdo it, however, because it's so smooth, you really don't even taste the brandy. It was a great hit with all the guests!

    This recipe is great as is! I made this for my Halloween party and am fairly certain I drank most of it, lol. My friends are all 20ish and were skeptical of the "lack of sweetness", but loved it after the second sip. Way better than any grape/orange vodka punch recipe out there.

    @ppalmeri, try it with brandy, not whiskey. The flavors are totally different. Why? Because brandy is distilled from wine and whiskey is distilled from beer. (That's an extremely oversimplified, but fundementally accurate explanation.)

    Delicious if you don't overdo it with the whiskey. Comes in second right after the Swamp Sips.
