Champagne Punch with Brandy and Citrus image

Eye-opening notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit keep this festive punch from heading into ultra-sweet territory-and fresh mint seconds the motion. "Once the Champagne has been added," says Scott Peacock, "serve the drinks as soon as possible to experience the maximum tickle of bubbles."

I'm not a big fan of champagne, but I really enjoyed this punch. The brandy and citrus flavors really balance out the champagne.

This punch is a little too strong for my taste. I would recommend using less brandy or adding some more sparkling water.

This punch is a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding some tart fruit juice to balance out the sweetness.
