What determines the colour of punch?
The colour of the punch depends on several factors. One of the most important is the colour and quantity of the ingredients used. For example, if fruits such as strawberries, raspberries or cherries are added to the punch, the end result will usually be reddish in colour. If citrus fruits such as oranges or lemons are used, the punch may have a yellowish or orangey colour.
In addition, added beverages such as red wine, rum or various liqueurs also affect the colour of the punch. The use of coloured syrups and spices can also alter the colour. The proportions and combination of ingredients all contribute to the colour of the final result.
Last but not least, the method of preparation (e.g. heat treatment) and the length of time can also affect the colour of the punch, as certain colours may intensify or fade during cooking or resting.
