Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Ladle or spoon for pouring

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled red fruit juice into a large mixing bowl, creating a vibrant base for the punch.
  2. Add the lemon-lime soda to the juice, pouring gently to preserve some fizz and create an inviting, bubbly appearance.
  3. Stir in the orange liqueur, if using, along with the simple syrup or honey, until well combined and slightly glossy.
  4. Add a handful of ice cubes to the mixture, which will help chill the punch further and slightly dilute the flavors.
  5. Gently stir the mixture again to ensure the ice is evenly distributed without losing too much fizz.
