“In the age of chaos, long before the creation of the cocktail, spirituous and aqueous, thick and thin, sweet and sharp and unctuous were all tumbled together in one undifferentiated Mass without former order. Then from the East there rose a sun to dry the wet and distill the light from the heavy. And then all drinks began to know their proper kinds and submit the willfulness of their doing to the correction of just reason. That Sun had a name and that name was punch.”
— From “Punch” by David Wondrich circa 2010

Punch has a long, intertwined history steeped in the world of mixology and distilled spirits. Pre-dating the cocktail, Punch was around before people thought of creating individualized drinks for just one person at a time and instead, created a large drink to be served in a communal setting. Consisting of 5 main ingredients: Sugar, Water, Citrus, Spice & Booze, punch’s base structure will have evolved to set the building blocks for many classic cocktails that we hold so dear to our hearts today. 

We want to honor the historical importance that punch brings to our industry and would also like to poke at what we may offer to its current day fishbowl renaissance. The Art’Quarium Clarified Punch contest is seeking one of the Nations top bartenders to create a unique clarified punch presented in an aquarium-style vessel that tells your story. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOWL, feel free to use alternative milks, think sustainable and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
