Ingredients:
Prep Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 12
- 52 oz Simply Made Fruit Punch
- 3 Tablespoons Pink Lemonade Frozen Concentrate, or more according to preference
- ¼ cup Strawberry Grenadine, or more according to preference
- 2 Liters Sprite
Instructions:
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the best results, make sure all your ingredients are chilled before mixing. This keeps the punch cool and refreshing without the need for excessive ice, which can dilute the flavors.
- Mix the Base: In a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser, pour in the 52 oz of Simply Made Fruit Punch. Add the thawed pink lemonade concentrate to the fruit punch, stirring until the concentrate is fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
- Add Fizz and Flavor: Gently pour in the 2 liters of Sprite to add that essential fizz. Follow up by stirring in the strawberry grenadine. Start with ¼ cup of grenadine, then taste and adjust according to your preference. The grenadine not only adds a rich, fruity depth but also enhances the punch’s vibrant color.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your punch a good mix and taste. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add more grenadine or a bit more lemonade concentrate.
- Serve: Once you’ve got the flavor just right, add ice if desired or serve as is for a more concentrated flavor. You can also garnish the punch with slices of fresh fruit, such as oranges, lemons, or strawberries, for an extra festive touch.
- *Pro Tip: If you are making this ahead of time just combine the fruit juice, pink lemonade and grenadine in a pitcher with a lid and keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve, then mix in the sprite right before serving. This prevents your punch from going flat!
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Just make sure it’s in a sealed container to keep it tasting fresh. I think making this fresh is your best bet but if you want to freeze it you can. You can leave out the Sprite for a slushie effect, which is fantastic for hot summer days. However, adding the Sprite before freezing can cause it to lose its fizz, so it’s best to add it fresh when you’re ready to serve.
Helpful Tips & Substitutions
Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! For the best results, combine the fruit punch, pink lemonade, and grenadine ahead of time and keep them chilled in the fridge. Add the Sprite right before your guests arrive to ensure the punch is as bubbly as your personality.
Substitutions & Variations
Not everyone has the same taste, and that’s okay! This recipe is super versatile. Don’t have Simply Made Fruit Punch? No problem! Any fruit punch will do. Not a fan of strawberry grenadine? Try raspberry instead for a twist. You can also switch out the Sprite for ginger ale or club soda for a different type of fizz.
Helpful Cooking Notes
- Chilling is Key: Keeping all ingredients cold is crucial for the perfect punch. Warm punch is a no-go!
- Adjust to Taste: The beauty of this punch is its flexibility. Feel free to tweak the sweetness or tartness to your liking.
- Garnish Galore: Don’t be shy with garnishes. They add an extra layer of flavor and make your punch bowl look even more inviting.
