Ingredients
- 3 cups cranberry juice
- 2 cups raspberry lemonade
- 1 liter sparkling water
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 3 cups of cranberry juice, 2 cups of raspberry lemonade, 1 liter of sparkling water, 1 cup of fresh raspberries, and ice cubes.
- In a large pitcher, pour in the 3 cups of cranberry juice. This will serve as the base of your punch and provide a rich, tart flavor.
- Next, add 2 cups of raspberry lemonade to the pitcher. This will add sweetness and a refreshing raspberry flavor that complements the cranberry juice.
- Gently stir the cranberry juice and raspberry lemonade together until well combined. Be careful not to create too many bubbles.
- Slowly pour in 1 liter of sparkling water to the mixture. This will give your punch its delightful fizz. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the carbonation remains intact.
- Take 1 cup of fresh raspberries and add them to the punch. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a beautiful visual appeal.
- Prepare serving glasses by filling each one with ice cubes. This will keep your punch chilled and refreshing.
- Carefully pour the sparkling cranberry-raspberry punch over the ice-filled glasses, making sure each glass gets a good mix of the berries.
- Optionally, you can garnish each glass with a few extra fresh raspberries or a slice of lemon for added decoration.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Sparkling Cran Raspberry Punch with friends and family!
Tips
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep your punch cold without diluting it too quickly with ice.
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and most Instagram-worthy presentation.
- For an adult version, consider adding a splash of vodka or white rum.
- If you want extra fizz, add the sparkling water just before serving to maintain maximum carbonation.
- Use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful color and floating raspberries.
- Make a large batch ahead of time and keep the sparkling water separate until serving to prevent going flat.
- Experiment with different garnishes like mint leaves or lemon slices for added visual appeal.
