Ingredients
Scale
Beverage Base
- 4 cups white cranberry juice
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup coconut milk (from a carton, not canned)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Carbonation and Garnish
- 1 liter lemon-lime soda (chilled)
- Crushed ice or ice ring
- Sugared cranberries (for garnish)
- Fresh mint (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine Juices and Coconut Milk. In a large punch bowl or pitcher, pour in the white cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and coconut milk. Add the fresh lime juice and simple syrup if using. Stir the mixture well until smooth and completely combined, ensuring a creamy and uniform base.
- Add Lemon-Lime Soda. Just before serving, gently pour the chilled lemon-lime soda into the punch mixture. Stir lightly to incorporate the fizzy soda without losing carbonation.
- Keep Cold. Add crushed ice or an ice ring to the punch bowl to keep the drink chilled and refreshing throughout your event.
- Garnish and Serve. Decorate the punch with sugared cranberries and fresh mint leaves for a festive appearance. Serve immediately in clear glasses to showcase the pretty frosty pastel hues of the punch.
Notes
- For an adult version, add 1 cup of coconut rum or vodka to the punch base before adding soda.
- To make sugared cranberries, dip fresh cranberries into simple syrup, roll them in granulated sugar, and let them dry for 30 minutes to create a sparkling garnish.
- Use coconut milk from a carton rather than canned to ensure better blending and avoid separation in the punch.
