Looking for an amazing punch recipe inspired by Bridgerton? Then you must try my Diamond of the Season Punch!

I did hours and hours of research on regency era punch recipes so that you don’t have to. I found that most were a combination of green tea (crazy, right?!), fruits, dark liquor, and champagne.

My Diamond of the Season Punch is a combination of green tea, an EASY pineapple syrup, St. Germaine, amaretto, and champagne. If you want to be really fancy, add a pinch of gold Prism Powder to truly sparkle.

Fun fact: pineapple was all the rage in the Regency Era. In fact, a pineapple would cost you about $8,000 in today’s money and was therefore the chicest fruit you could be seen with. It was such a feather in one’s cap that people even strolled around carrying a pineapple! Can you even?! Google it. I’m not kidding!

If you’ve never made a simple syrup before, don’t panic. It’s easy to make than noodles are to boil. Just combine water and sugar in a pot and cook over medium heat until it looks like water. Pour over pineapple and refrigerate. Ta da! Now you have delicious pineapple syrup to use in cocktails all month.

Thank you to my grocery partner Kroger for supporting The Rose Table and this recipe! It’s partnerships like this that keep The Rose Table going.

Note: This recipe easily doubles. For my Bridgerton party, I made twice as much pineapple syrup and green tea and had it chilling well in the fridge. Then on party day, I just had to stir it all together in a pitcher!

Diamond of the Season Punch

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup cubed pineapple
2 green tea bags
1/4 cup elderflower liquor 
3/4 cup amaretto 
1 bottle of champagne 
Orange bitters
Optional: gold prism powder for sparkle

1. Make the pineapple syrup: Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small sauce pan until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour over pineapple cubes in a heatproof bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. 
2. To make the green tea: Bring two cups of water to a boil. Turn off heat and add 2 green tea bags. Steep for 2-3 minutes, then remove and let cool. Chill well.
3. Strain pineapple syrup from solids, then add syrup to a pitcher along with two cups chilled green tea, elderflower liquor, and amaretto. Just before serving, add a bottle of champagne and a few dashes of orange bitters. If desired, add a bit of gold prism powder for a sparkling diamond effect.
