Punch originated in India in the 16th century, deriving its name from the Hindi word "panch," meaning five, which refers to the five original ingredients: alcohol, sugar, lemon, water, and tea or spices. It was brought to England by sailors and traders, where it became popular in the 17th century. Over time, punch evolved into various recipes and styles, often incorporating fruits and other flavors, becoming a staple at social gatherings and celebrations.
