While we’re fans of a festive punch at Good Food, we haven’t come across many we love. We decided to ask this year’s Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide Bar of the Year winner Silver’s Motel in Enmore for a recipe. Co-owner Michael Chiem, who is also behind 2024 Bar of the Year, PS40, replied immediately .“Yep, I’ve got a great recipe up my sleeve, actually.” This is his Christmas punch. We hope you enjoy it.

When hosting parties, I’m a huge advocate for getting drinks in hands as fast as possible, and this Christmas punch is something you can prepare in advance and dish out as soon as your guests arrive. It follows a classic punch recipe breakdown – sour, sweet, strong, weak and spice.
Tip: If it’s a really hot day, I recommend you leave the rum in the freezer and the port in the fridge overnight.
