Here’s the punch ratio, courtesy of Food52’s Assistant Editor Kenzi Wilbur:

Ready? Commit this to memory: 2 parts booze : 2 parts wine : 2 parts juice (optional) : 1/2 to 1 part sweet

Just pour (into a large bowl), gently mix, and serve.

Wilbur recommends using simple sugar syrup for the sweetener: dissolve one part sugar in an equal amount of water over medium heat. If you’re using any carbonated drinks, like sparkling wine, then make sure you mix the non-carbonated drinks ahead of time and chill them, adding the carbonated part at the last minute.
