Punch Fountain Recipe - Recipes for Fountains

The once dated Punch or Champagne Fountain is now referred to as 'retro chic' because of its new appeal. Plus, rental fees are reasonable so many event planners are incorporating 2 or 3 punch or beverage fountains, strategically placing them in various locations throughout the event to suggest a more pleasant flow of traffic.

Punch fountains, also called beverage fountains are made from stainless steel or aluminum alloy (a softer metal which is less expensive but also dings much easier -- so probably not ideal for a commercial environment). Liquid beverages are placed in the bowl of the fountain where a pump and interior tube carries it to the top and through the serving nozzles. Tumblers and  Champagne flutes are placed under the nozzles to fill.  Here are several punch recipes:
