Notes
Substitutes:
- Aguardiente: If you don't have Aguardiente, I've used rum as a substitute. It gives a different but equally enjoyable flavor.
- Fruit Juices: Feel free to use any combination of fruit juices you like. I sometimes use mango or guava juice for a tropical twist.
- Grenadine: You can make your grenadine by mixing pomegranate juice with sugar if you don't have store-bought grenadine.
Making a Pitcher of Aguardiente Punch:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 4. That would be 16 oz of Aguardiente, 24 oz of assorted fruit juices, and 4 oz of grenadine.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the Aguardiente, fruit juices, and grenadine. Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into ice-filled glasses, garnish with fresh fruit slices, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Aguardiente Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic spirit that mimics the flavor profile of Aguardiente. These are available in specialty stores.
- Proceed As Usual: Use this non-alcoholic substitute instead of Aguardiente, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
Making it Vegan:
- Ensure All Ingredients Are Vegan: Most fruit juices and grenadine are vegan-friendly, but always check labels to be sure.
