Description
Strawberry Citrus Easter Punch features a mix of quartered strawberries, fresh pineapple cubes, and sliced cara cara oranges combined with champagne and a medley of juices and sodas including blood orange soda, club soda, pineapple juice, and strawberry puree. The inclusion of brandy adds a warming note to this bright punch. Fresh fruit is placed in the punch bowl before pouring liquids over, allowing flavors to mingle as it chills.
The strawberry puree is prepared by blending fresh strawberries with water and straining, contributing to a smooth, fresh berry component in the punch. The final presentation with fruit garnish and optional crushed ice in glasses makes for an attractive and easy-to-serve beverage.
