Sparkling Citrus Punch

This bubbly punch blends orange, lemon, and lime juices with a fizzy soda base. It’s zesty, refreshing, and naturally sweet — a crowd-pleasing cooler for all ages.

Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

• 2 cups orange juice (preferably fresh)

• 1 cup lemonade (or fresh lemon juice sweetened to taste)

• ½ cup lime juice (fresh or bottled)

• 2–3 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional, to taste)

• 2 cups chilled sparkling water or lemon-lime soda

• Orange, lemon, and lime slices, for garnish

• Ice cubes

• Fresh mint (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix the Juices
   In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine orange juice, lemonade, and lime juice. Stir in sweetener if using.

2. Add the Bubbles
   Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water or soda and stir gently.

3. Serve Cold
   Fill glasses or cups with ice. Pour the punch and garnish with citrus slices and mint leaves.

Tips

• Use sparkling apple juice instead of soda for a kid-friendly option.

• Add frozen orange or lemon slices instead of ice to chill without watering it down.

• To make a large batch, scale the juices up and keep the soda separate until serving.
