Ingredients
Juices
- 3 cups peach juice (Simply brand recommended)
- 3 cups pineapple orange juice (Simply brand recommended)
- 3 cups lemonade (Newman’s Own brand recommended)
Simple Syrups
- 1 cup Cherry Simple Syrup (prepared in advance)
- 1 cup Strawberry Simple Syrup (prepared in advance)
Other
- 4 cups lemon-lime soda, chilled
- Ice (or ice ring for serving)
Garnishes (Optional)
- Lemon wheels
- Lime wheels
- Orange wheels
- Strawberry slices
- Fresh cherries
- Pineapple wedges
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare Simple Syrups: Make the Cherry Simple Syrup and Strawberry Simple Syrup in advance. Allow them to cool completely before using to ensure they blend well into the punch without raising the temperature.
- Mix Juices and Syrups: In a large punch bowl, combine 3 cups peach juice, 3 cups pineapple orange juice, 3 cups lemonade, 1 cup cherry simple syrup, and 1 cup strawberry simple syrup. Stir thoroughly to combine the flavors evenly.
- Add Soda and Ice: Just before serving, gently top the punch mixture with 4 cups of chilled lemon-lime soda to add fizz. Serve alongside ice in a separate bowl or add an ice ring directly to avoid watering down the punch too quickly.
- Garnish: Decorate the punch bowl and individual glasses with optional fresh fruit garnishes like lemon, lime, and orange wheels, strawberry slices, fresh cherries, pineapple wedges, and add fresh mint leaves for a fragrant, attractive presentation.
Notes
- Prepare simple syrups ahead of time and chill to enhance flavor and convenience.
- Using ice rings or serving ice on the side helps prevent the punch from becoming diluted too quickly.
- The choice of branded juices like Simply and Newman’s Own is suggested for consistent quality and flavor but can be substituted with any preferred brands.
- For a variation, try adding sparkling water instead of lemon-lime soda for a less sweet version.
