Tips for Perfect Punch

With such an easy recipe you can’t really go wrong with this fruit punch. However, I do have a couple of suggestions for perfect punch. Here we go:

  • Add ice to cups, not the whole pitcher. That way the whole pitcher doesn’t get watered-down if you are serving it later.
  • Add sprite right before serving, this prevents the punch from going flat too soon
  • Make ahead of time for optimal chilling. Some juices you buy don’t come refrigerated. Be sure to make this drink ahead of time so it’s nice and cold.
  • Add sliced fruit as a fun garnish. Whether that be orange slices, floating cranberries, or sliced strawberries any fruit will add a sense of freshness.
  • Serve in a fun glass. Let’s face it, nothing beats drinking a cold yummy drink from a see-through cup. Use either plastic or glass, but more importantly, enjoy!

Can I Spike Fruit Punch?

While this is a kid-friendly nonalcoholic fruit punch recipe that doesn’t mean you can’t spike it if you want to. Either add an ounce and a half of vodka (or your choice of liquor) to your glass before filling it with fruit punch or add a cup or two to the pitcher along with the rest of the ingredients. Enjoy and drink responsibly friends!
