Health benefits of Boathouse Punch

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form. Grapefruits are rich in folic acid. One grapefruit will give you 8% of your daily needs of folic acid.

Ingredients

Peels of 4 lemons
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 (1-liter) bottle gin (I recommend Bombay Dry or Bombay Sapphire)
1 (750-ml) bottle Aperol
12 ounces St. Germain elderflower liqueur
12 ounces lemon juice
12 ounces orange juice
12 ounces grapefruit juice
Large ice block
1 (750-ml) bottle sparkling rosé wine
Garnish with lemon wheels (from 2 lemons)

Instructions

Place the lemon peels in a bowl with the sugar (save the lemons for juicing). Muddle the peels until the sugar looks slightly moistened, then let sit covered for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
In a large punch bowl, combine the gin, Aperol, St. Germain, and juices. Add the lemon peel mixture and let sit for 15 minutes. Remove the peels. Right before serving, add the ice block and rosé. Garnish the punch bowl with the lemon wheels.
