The Hottest Party Cocktail Right Now


This past weekend got you thinking about summer party season?

Us too.

Which is why you should know what the hottest party cocktail is right now.

Wait for it.

It's punch.

Yep. Punch.

Here's why: these days it's more about the conversation going on outside the glass than it is about what inside the glass.

With punch, there's no theater. It's there when you get there. All you do is put some in your glass, and then move on to more important things.

Like who you'll talk to next.
