Ingredient Breakdown

3 cups lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
2 cups white grape juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup blue sports drink (like Gatorade Frost Glacier Freeze)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Ice cubes
Fresh fruit slices for garnish (lemon, lime, or pineapple)
Optional: glow sticks (non-edible, for display only)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Step 1: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour together the lemon-lime soda, white grape juice, pineapple juice, blue sports drink, and fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to mix everything beautifully while preserving the fizziness and carbonation, no one wants flat punch!

Step 2: Add in your ice cubes to chill the punch. Toss in those fresh fruit slices like lemon, lime, or pineapple on top for a garnish that shines like the colors of the aurora borealis!

Step 3: Serve the punch in clear glasses or a clear bowl. Pro tip: Use clear containers to showcase those stunning colors! For some extra magic, place non-edible glow sticks around the serving container, just keep those sticks out of the liquid unless they’re labeled safe for food contact.

Step 4: Chill the punch in the refrigerator until serving time. Trust me, keeping it cold will make all the difference!

How to Serve This Punch

Storage? It keeps well, up to three days in the fridge! Just make sure to top it off with fresh ice before serving as needed.

Reheating Instructions

This punch is not meant to be reheated (it’s a drink after all!), but just in case you’ve stumbled onto leftover syrup or juice, you can store it sealed for up to two weeks. Just don’t forget to give it a taste test before serving!

Freezer-Friendly?

Not really, because of the carbonation. So, best enjoyed fresh!
