punchbowls

Communal drink containers

Punchbowls is the plural of punchbowl, a large bowl used for serving punch—a mixed beverage typically containing fruit juice, spices, and often alcohol.

The bowl sits at the center of gatherings, with guests ladling drinks into cups: The wedding had a champagne punchbowl.

Punchbowl also describes bowl-shaped geographical features, especially volcanic craters.
