5 Pretty Punch Recipes To Make This Spring

Who doesn’t love a cold and fizzy glass of juicy punch? I sure do! To celebrate the warmer spring weather ahead, I’ve recently been inspired to try out some brand new punch recipes. The best part is getting to sample so many yummy varieties, and my kids have certainly enjoyed the mocktail versions too. I seriously can’t wait to sip on some pretty punch by the pool all spring and summer long! I’m debating planning a spring fling party just to share these sweet sips with my best gals.

5 Great Punch Recipes

Before I give you the punch recipes for my 5 favorite pretty punches, including rum punch, fruit punch, white wine punch, sherbet punch and even a pretty pink punch! I’m going to share a few things I learned along the way that will guarantee a delicious end product. You can thank me later ;)

3 Fun Tricks for Making the Best Punches

1. Consider including a carbonated beverage. You can do flavored soda, club soda, sparkling water, champagne, or really any combination. While you can make punch without, it looks so pretty and tastes so yummy with some bubbles.

2. Serve chilled, preferably over ice. Bonus points for using pretty ice cubes or frozen fruit!

3. Don’t skip the citrus. Punch is super sweet, so adding some citrus (think lemon, lime, or orange juice juice) is a great way to incorporate some much needed tang. Pucker up and happy sipping!

Rum Punch Recipe

Now on to my favorite punch recipes to date! The base of a number of these are similar so be sure if you want to make a display of punches like we did that you note what can be shared between them. Making a large bowl or pitcher of punch is fun and such an easy way to have a self serve bar set up at the next gathering, giving you more time to sip and chat with your friends.

Rum Punch Recipe

To make rum punch recipe you will need:

  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cups grenadine
  • 3 cups rum
  • 2 cups of ginger ale* (optional)
  • Sliced oranges to garnish
  • Sliced limes to garnish

1. Combine all ingredients except the sliced oranges and limes in a large serving bowl or pitcher.

2. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

3. Garnish with sliced oranges and limes when you’re going to serve.

*A standard rum punch does not have any ginger ale, but if you’re like me and prefer the bubbly version, this is the perfect way to add some to this recipe. If you do, add another 1/2 cup of rum so it still packs a punch. ;)
