This is one of those holiday punch recipes that just works. It’s easy, refreshing, not overly sweet, and perfect for gatherings where you want something festive without spending all day in the kitchen.
It can be served as-is for a family-friendly punch, or easily turned into an adult version if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle refrigerated Simply Orange Juice (or Simply Apple Juice or Simply Fruit Punch)
- 4 tablespoons frozen pink lemonade concentrate
- ⅓ cup strawberry Simply Syrup
- 1 bottle Sprite (added just before serving)
Instructions
- In a large pitcher or punch bowl, add the orange juice (or juice of choice).
- Whisk in the frozen pink lemonade concentrate until fully dissolved.
- Add the strawberry syrup and stir well to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until fully chilled.
- Just before serving, gently stir in the Sprite.
Do not add the Sprite ahead of time. Adding it right before serving keeps the punch bubbly and fresh.
Flavor Variations
- Use Simply Apple Juice for a warmer, winter-friendly flavor.
- Use Simply Fruit Punch for a brighter, more traditional party punch.
- Add sliced oranges or strawberries for a decorative touch.
Optional: Adult Version
If you’d like to serve this as an adult holiday punch, alcohol can be added to individual glasses or to a separate batch.
- Vodka pairs cleanly with the citrus flavors.
- White rum adds a light, slightly sweet note.
- Champagne or prosecco can replace part of the Sprite for a sparkling version.
Always label clearly and serve responsibly.
Make-Ahead Notes
- The base (everything except Sprite) can be made the night before.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Add Sprite only at the last minute for best carbonation.
