Drink of the Day: Belvedere Vodka Wedding Punch by Claire Smith

We all watched as Diana gracefully walked down the aisle to wed Prince Charles, and in just a few short weeks, many of us will once again be doing the same as their son William marries Kate Middleton in another royal ceremony. Royal weddings allow us to watch fantasy come to life, filled with regal charm, prestige and the hope that true love actually exists. This year, whether you're watching from home at your own royal wedding celebration or looking for a special cocktail to serve at your own gathering, try Belvedere Vodka Wedding Punch created by the head of Belvedere Mixology, Claire Smith.

Traditionally Champagne is usually used for celebrations, but Belvedere Vodka Wedding Punch is a unique cocktail that you can make an entire batch of prior to your guests' arrival that will free you from the job of bartender. Unlike many other punches that are too sweet and filled with a variety of concoctions, Wedding Punch has a very natural taste and is primarily made with green tea and lemon juice. Of course you can add your choice of mixed berries and even cucumber and lemon, this drink is a light, refreshing way to say cheers and congrats to William and Kate.
