Health benefits of Rabbit 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.

Ingredients

1 whole orange, plus 1 orange cut into thin slices for garnish
1 lemon
1 cup sugar
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1 (750 milliliter) bottle bourbon, at least 100 proof
1 cup Champagne or sparkling wine
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

Instructions

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from 1 orange and the lemon. Transfer to a large punch bowl and add the sugar. Muddle to release the citrus oils, then let stand 1 to 2 hours. Add the lemon and pineapple juices and the bourbon, and stir to combine. Just before serving, stir in 3 to 4 cups of ice, then top with Champagne or sparkling wine and garnish with the orange slices and pineapple chunks.
