Autry When it comes to hosting Easter lunch, every detail matters and Southerners stick with traditional decor, from pastel-tinted table settings to the classic Easter ham. But there's always room for a festive finishing touch that will spice up the family gathering, and that's where a big-batch Easter punch comes in. It's easy to prepare, withstands the afternoon, keeps the crowd happy, and makes a pretty display in a punch bowl. Whether you're in the mood for a refreshing Lemon Mint Sparkler or a pretty Berry Splash, these Easter drink recipes will make a welcome addition to your holiday lineup and don't call for a single drop of alcohol. (Easter takes place on the Lord's Day, after all.) Keep these delicious punches ice-cold with a decorative ice ring to ensure your crowd will never feel parched. We don't even think you should put all your eggs in one basket—make two or three different recipes and set up a festive punch bar for your guests! No matter your choice, one of these non-alcoholic Easter punch recipes deserves to appear at your Easter celebration this year. 01 of 26 Easter Brunch Punch Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox Rhubarb syrup adds a sweet-tangy flavor to store-bought strawberry lemonade in this pretty pastel and non-alcoholic Easter punch. 02 of 26 Lemon Mint Sparklers Hector Sanchez Lemon and mint are an unstoppable springtime duo in the South, and this sparkling punch is invigoratingly crisp.
