If you make a single serving version you might try adding in an ounce of water (mineral water or club soda is nice)to smooth out the concentration of the punch recipe. Here is one of my favorite punches from my 1943 edition of "Tom and Jerry's Bartender's Guide: How to mix Drinks" Pre-Prohibition Recipes: 16oz. (1 pint) orgeat 4oz. (1/4 pint) maraschino 5.33oz (1/3 pint) of cognac 4oz. (1/4 pint) Jamaican rum 750ml bottle champagne 750ml bottle mineral water 3 oz. sugar 2 lemons & 2 oranges sliced thin a few slices of pineapple sliced very thin stir up with ladle add to punchbowl filled with shaved/crushed ice & serve This one is really great.
