This Salted Honey Whiskey Sour Punch with Drunken Cherries party recipe is going to make you a star among your guests!

If you try one new punch recipe this year, this is the one! This recipe has it all. Sweet, salty, citrus, and a cherry on top.

I made this for a Christmas dinner party and it got rave reviews. It’s a great festive holiday punch recipe, but it also bodes well for a big Game Day party or an Awards Viewing party.

There are two secrets to the success of this punch. The salted honey simple syrup, and the liqueur-soaked cherries. Both add something special that make this recipe unique.

This party punch recipe gives a modern twist to a classic cocktail, and serves a crowd. 

The salted honey simple syrup give this punch an amazing flavor. It’s so interesting and delicious, and complements the other flavors so well.

Can I substitute bourbon in this punch recipe?

Yes, of course! It’s just as tasty using bourbon instead of whiskey. You may get a slightly sweeter flavor depending on the bourbon you use.

You can easily adjust the flavor of this punch by adding a full 2-liter bottle of ginger ale.

This will also increase the amount of punch you have in case you are trying to stretch it for a larger crowd.

Garnish your drinks with sweetened dried lemon slices.

I find these at Trader Joe’s. You can also just use fresh sliced lemons to garnish. I like to float sliced lemons and limes in the punch bowl as a hint of what flavors are inside.

Freeze sliced lemons and limes in over-sized ice cubes and add to the punch to keep it chilled.
