Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and slice fresh oranges, lemons, and limes into thin rounds for garnishing. Measure out the fruit punch, orange juice, lemon-lime soda, and grenadine syrup.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed orange juice when possible to enhance flavor and brightness.
  • Keep all ingredients cold before mixing to maintain punch chill without excess ice dilution.
  • Freeze small fruit pieces in ice cubes for a festive look and extra flavor as they melt.
  • Prepare the punch base up to 24 hours in advance; add soda and fruit just before serving for best fizz.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more grenadine or juice as preferred.
