A sweet, sparkling, non-alcoholic cocktail perfect for summer parties, combining fresh citrus juices, berries, and sparkling water for a refreshing and crowd-pleasing drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cranberry juice (unsweetened if possible)
  • 3 cups (720 ml) sparkling water or club soda (chilled)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) lemon-lime soda (optional)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries – sliced if large)
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced
  • Fresh mint leaves (a handful, lightly bruised)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Juice the orange, lemon, and lime. Reserve about 1 cup (240 ml) of orange juice and keep lemon and lime juice or slices for garnish.
  2. In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the orange juice, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. Stir gently to blend.
  3. If using, stir in honey or agave syrup until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Chill the juice mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes (optional).
  5. Prepare garnishes by slicing lemon, lime, and lightly bruising mint leaves. Slice berries if large.
  6. Just before serving, add chilled sparkling water or club soda and lemon-lime soda (if using) to the juice mixture. Stir gently to preserve fizz.
  7. Add fresh berries, lemon and lime slices, and mint leaves to the punch. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Add ice cubes or frozen berries to keep the punch cold without diluting it.
  9. Taste and adjust by adding more lemon juice or soda if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh-squeezed juices for best flavor. Chill juices and soda before mixing to keep fizz. Stir gently after adding sparkling water to preserve bubbles. Use frozen berries as ice cubes to keep punch cold without dilution. Add soda just before serving to maintain sparkle.
