Alcoholic punch recipe that will please a variety of people?!
I wanted an alcoholic punch recipe that:
-isn't too seasonal (nothing too tropical or too christmas-y for example)
-isn't your typical sprite and whatever with ice cream floating on top...so preferably no ice cream
-Will please a variety of people...from those that usually prefer 'fancier' drinks to those who will drink anything.
Please help!

My favorite is simple and tastes great with or without booze in it.
Equal parts Strawberry Hi C and ginger ale or bubble up. I like the soda to be kind of tart and very bubbly so I don't use 7-up.
frozen strawberries or other fresh or frozen fruit.
A mixture of whole and sliced strawberries looks nice. but slices of kiwi look pretty good too.
As much vodka or Everclear as you want in there.
I take some of the Hi C and freeze it into big blocks. For a wedding, I used heart shaped copper jello molds to make the ice blocks. Using the punch ingredients to make the ice block won't water down the punch and they float so it looks nice.
not sure why tropical would be considered seasonal but....
You could go very simple and offer what is sometimes called mock champagne. It is pineapple juice and 7-up. Vodka or Everclear would go well in that as well.
Hmmm. I would consider maybe using rum instead of vodka or everclear. Those are very strong and may not be appealing to some of your guests that don't wanna get plastered. Try rum, orange juice & regular Hi-C. It's fruity, but tasty. We usually make it in the blender with ice, but it could be good just chilled also.
Hmmmmmm.....as punches go, I'm not big on overly sweet or overly potent ones. I've also had some nice champagne punches that didn't use expensive champagne. Here's a combination I've enjoyed:
1 can frozen margarita mix or lemonade
1 can frozen tangerine orange juice or Hawaiian punch
1 can frozen grapefruit juice
2 liters sparkling water
1 cup vodka or good Kentucky bourbon
You can also use sweet and sour mix to taste.
Lime Daiquiri punch. Google it. There are many recipes. Everyone loves it.
Raspberry vodka, Lemonade, Ginger ale
