National Punch Day — September 20
Raise a glass! National Punch Day is celebrated every year on September 20—a fun occasion to enjoy one of the world’s oldest party drinks.
A Drink With History
Punch has roots in India, and the name is linked to the Hindi word “panch,” meaning five. Traditional punch was associated with five ingredients, including water, sugar, citrus, tea or spices, and an alcoholic base.
Over the centuries, punch became a popular drink for parties, family gatherings and celebrations. Today, there are countless versions—from fruity and fizzy to warm and spicy—and plenty of delicious non-alcoholic recipes too.
