Double Dutch Mixer Match
Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon was made for this cocktail. Its cooling, subtle sweetness enhances the watermelon while balancing the sharpness of lime and the complexity of gin. The result is a drink that’s lively and layered, without ever feeling heavy or overpowering.
Top Tips for Punch Perfection
- Use seedless watermelon: Easier to prep and cleaner to drink.
- Chill everything in advance: A cold jug means you’ll need less ice — and less dilution.
- Don’t skimp on mint: A generous handful adds a refreshing aroma to every glass.
The Palace Punch is here to take centre stage at your next gathering. It’s vibrant, versatile, and packed with personality — just like any great host. So go ahead, fill up that jug, pour out a few glasses, and let the party begin.
