What is fruit punch made of?
We always use a lemonade as a base for our fruit punch. Our next favorite juice to add is the pineapple. Then give it some bubby by adding a light soda. Serve over ice cubes and garnish.
It’s that simple.

However, this drink can be garnished with a wide variety of fruit. It is both pretty to look at and a delicious snack to enjoy while sipping on this punch. Try orange slices, lemon slices, strawberries, maraschino cherries, any fresh fruit works.
This recipe works well for adding fruit right to the punch bowl. It will add even more flavor.
What if you want an alcoholic punch?
This recipe can be easily turned into a cocktail. Just add 1.5 ounces to a glass filled with ice cubes. Add the punch and give it a gentle stir.
Spike the whole punch bowl by adding up to 2 cups of alcohol.
I would recommend using a vodka or a fruity flavored wine as the alcohol as it will compliment the fruity flavors well.
Serve this for Mother’s Day brunch, summer parties, backyard barbeques, Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas parties, or New Years Eve!
