In Robert St. John's entertaining Deep South Parties, there are a number of denominationally themed punches. The ingredients:

- Presbyterian Punch: lemonade, pineapple juice, ginger ale
- Episcopalian Punch: 1/5 bourbon, 1/5 brandy, 1/5 sherry, 1/5 sparkling red wine, juice of 12 fresh lemons, 2 c. sugar, 1/5 soda water
- Catholic Punch: burgundy, gin, ginger ale, sugar, lemon juice
- Baptist Punch: cranberry juice, apple cider, pineapple juice, orange juice, lemon juice, ginger ale
- Mrs. Lampkin's Methodist Punch: pineapple juice, lime gelatin mix, sugar, lemon juice, almond extract
