A Fun History Behind the Punch
Fruit punches have been a popular choice at social events for ages. The term “punch” comes from the Hindi word “panch,” which means five, traditionally indicating the five main ingredients: alcohol, sugar, lemon, water, and spices.
Over the years, the recipe evolved, and non-alcoholic versions like lemonade-based fruit punches became especially popular at events. Adding pineapple juice gives a tropical spin, making the flavor even more exciting and refreshing.
