Abstract:

Punch bowls have been a staple for parties in the South since the 17th century. While punch has its roots in British-held India, it made its way to the United States where it became the trend for militia meetings and high society gatherings. Historically, punch was much more alcoholic and less sweet than the punch known today- and now, can be sampled at The Punch Room in Charlotte.
