Ingredients
Scale

- 3 cups (24 fl oz/710 ml) lemonade
- 2 cups (16 fl oz/473 ml) ginger ale
- 2 cups (16 fl oz/473 ml) coconut water
- 1 cup (8 fl oz/237 ml) orange juice
- ¼ cup (2 fl oz/59 ml) lime juice
- Pineapple slices (for garnish)
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
- Lime slices (for garnish)
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- Ice cubes (for serving)
Instructions
- Liquid Fusion: Pour pineapple juice, lemonade, coconut water, orange juice, and lime juice into a spacious pitcher, whisking thoroughly to create a harmonious tropical base.
- Effervescent Enhancement: Just before serving, add ginger ale or lemon-lime soda to introduce a lively, sparkling dimension to the punch.
- Fruit and Flavor Infusion: Layer fresh pineapple, lemon, and lime slices across the surface, strategically scatter maraschino cherries, and delicately sprinkle mint leaves to elevate both visual appeal and taste profile.
- Temperature Optimization: Refrigerate the punch for at least one hour, allowing ingredients to meld and achieve a perfectly chilled state.
- Serving Ritual: Fill glasses with ice cubes, give the punch a gentle stir to redistribute fruit elements, then pour carefully and garnish with an additional mint leaf or fruit slice for an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Boost Fruit Flavor: Muddle fresh fruit slices before adding to release more intense tropical notes and natural sweetness.
- Control Carbonation: Add soda just before serving to maintain maximum fizz and prevent flavor dilution.
- Balance Sweetness: Adjust juice ratios if punch feels too sweet by adding more citrus or reducing sugary components.
- Prep Ahead Strategy: Combine all non-carbonated ingredients hours earlier and refrigerate to allow flavors to marry perfectly, adding soda only moments before serving.
