🌍 A Brief History of Fruit Punch
The story of fruit punch is one of global fusion, travel, and tropical trade:
Origin: The word punch comes from the Sanskrit word pañc (पञ्च), meaning “five” — representing the five key ingredients: alcohol, sugar, water, lemon, and spices.
Colonial Influence: British sailors brought punch recipes from India back to Europe in the 17th century.
Tropical Twist: As Caribbean and Central American trade flourished, fruits like pineapple and citrus became staples in festive punches.
Lemonade’s Legacy: Lemonade traces back to Egypt around 1000 AD and became a summertime staple across Europe and America.
Modern-Day Punch: By the 20th century, punch evolved into the non-alcoholic, juice-based party favorite we know today—perfect for all ages.
