Instructions:
Step 1
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, whisk together cold water and lemonade mix until fully dissolved. This will form the base of your punch.
Step 2
Add the pineapple juice to the mixture and stir well to combine. The pineapple juice adds a tropical sweetness to balance the tartness of the lemonade.
Step 3
If you’d like to enhance the flavor, you can add orange juice or a teaspoon of coconut extract. Stir to incorporate these additional flavors into the punch.
Step 4
Just before serving, pour in the Sprite (or any lemon-lime soda) to give the punch its fizzy and refreshing texture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring you don’t lose the bubbles.
Step 5
Prepare serving glasses by filling them with crushed ice. The ice will help keep the punch cool and refreshing.
Step 6
Pour the prepared punch over the crushed ice in each glass, allowing the cold liquid to blend with the ice for an extra-chilled treat.
Step 7
For a festive touch, garnish each glass with fresh slices of lemon and pineapple. This not only adds a pop of color but enhances the tropical vibe of the drink.
Step 8
Optional: If you’re serving at a party, you can prepare the punch ahead of time and store it in the fridge, leaving the soda to be added right before serving to maintain its fizz.
Step 9
If you want to add a fun twist, serve the punch in a hollowed-out pineapple or coconut shell to create a true tropical presentation.
