Ingredients

• 2 cups pineapple juice (fresh or good quality)
• 1 cup mango juice
• 1½ cups fresh orange juice
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice
• 2 cups sparkling water or ginger ale (chilled) add just before serving
• 2–3 tbsp pomegranate juice (optional, for color and mild sweetness)
• 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (pineapple chunks, mango cubes, orange slices, strawberries)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
• Optional sweetener: 1–2 tbsp simple syrup if juices are not sweet enough

Directions

First combine the juices

In a large punch bowl or pitcher, pour pineapple juice, mango juice (or purée), orange juice, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine.

Next add color & sweetness

Stir in pomegranate juice if using. Taste and add 1–2 tbsp simple syrup only if you prefer a sweeter punch.

Then add fresh fruit & chill

Add mixed fruit pieces into the bowl. Chill the juice + fruit mixture for 20–30 minutes so flavors combine well.

Now add fizz just before serving

Right before serving, slowly pour in sparkling water or ginger ale and stir gently to keep the bubbles. Do not add fizz too early otherwise it will go flat.

Finally serve & garnish

Fill glasses with ice , ladle punch over ice in glass, and garnish each glass with mint sprig and a slice of orange or pineapple.

Tips for the Best Tropical Punch

• Make fruit-juice ice cubes: freeze leftover juice in trays and use them instead of plain ice so the punch would not dilute.
• If using fresh fruit, remove seeds to avoid bitterness.
• For a stronger tropical flavor, add 2 tbsp coconut water.

Serving Ideas

• Serve in a large glass punch bowl or hollowed coconut for a tropical look.
• Pair with light snacks and savory finger foods.

Variations

• Coconut Tropical Punch: Replace ½ cup sparkling water with ½ cup chilled coconut water (adds subtle coconut flavor).
• Frozen Tropical Slush: For this blend 3 cups of the mixture with lots of ice for a slushy treat.
• Berry Twist: Add ½ cup mixed berry puree for color and tartness.
