What Is Backporch Punch?
Backporch Punch is a Southern-inspired party drink that combines fruit juices with a kick of spirits, usually rum, vodka, or bourbon, depending on preference. Its charm lies in the balance—it’s bold yet refreshing, sweet but not cloying, and versatile enough to make by the glass or in a big pitcher.
