Fruit Punch Recipe
Description
The Fruit Punch recipe blends the concentrated flavors of orange and lemonade juices with pineapple juice diluted by water, creating a vibrant base. Whole strawberries are frozen into an ice ring to add color and slow release of mild sweetness. Adding lemon-lime soda just before serving imparts effervescence and a refreshing finish.
The method involves preparing the juice mixture first, freezing fruit in a mold with some juice to create the ice ring, then combining all components when ready to serve. This technique not only chills the punch but also adds visual appeal and gradual flavor infusion.
This punch is suitable for large group gatherings with a yield of twenty-four 8-ounce servings. The recipe notes suggest flexible juice choices and substitutions like mango or passionfruit juice, and ginger ale in place of citrus soda. It also recommends making the juice mixture and ice ring several days ahead for convenience.
Leftover punch can be refrigerated for up to four days, maintaining freshness for multiple uses. The recipe can be halved for smaller groups without difficulty.
Ingredients
- 2 (6 ounce) cans orange juice concentrate thawed (see note 1, frozen
- 2 (6 ounce) cans lemonade concentrate thawed (see note 1, frozen
- 1 (48 ounce) can pineapple juice (see note 1)

Notes
- Use thawed frozen orange and lemonade concentrates for robust flavor; pineapple juice adds tropical sweetness.
