Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) grenadine syrup
- 1 cup (240 ml) orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed
- 1 cup (240 ml) pineapple juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) lemonade
- 1 cup (240 ml) club soda or sparkling water
- Mixed fresh fruits (optional): sliced strawberries, orange slices, pineapple chunks, blueberries or grapes
- Ice cubes, preferably large cubes
Instructions
- Chill all your juices and the club soda for at least an hour before starting.
- Prepare your pitcher or punch bowl by adding a few large ice cubes to the bottom.
- Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) grenadine syrup gently into the bottom of the pitcher to form the base layer.
- Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) orange juice over the back of a spoon held just above the grenadine layer to keep layers separate.
- Repeat the slow pour technique with 1 cup (240 ml) pineapple juice, letting it settle on top of the orange juice.
- Carefully add 1 cup (240 ml) lemonade over the pineapple juice using the spoon method to maintain layering.
- Gently pour 1 cup (240 ml) club soda or sparkling water on top for fizz and to lighten the punch.
- Float sliced strawberries, orange wheels, pineapple chunks, and blueberries on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately using a ladle or pour directly into clear glasses to showcase the layers.
Notes
Chill all ingredients before layering to keep layers distinct. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon to maintain separation. Use large ice cubes to slow dilution. Add club soda last to keep fizz fresh. For alcoholic versions, add a splash of light rum or vodka to each layer and adjust sweetness accordingly.
