Orange Punch

This works best with a sharp knife: trim off the top and bottom, then slice the peel and pith away from top to bottom.

During maceration the powdered sugar dissolves and the fruit releases its juices — this adds more flavor to the punch.

If possible, chill the wine, sparkling wine and the punch bowl well during this time.

Instead of ordinary ice cubes, use ice cubes made from juice or wine — this keeps the punch cold without diluting it.
