Yield: 2
Materials
- - **1 liter Pineapple Juice**: Pineapple juice brings a bright tropical sweetness to the punch, adding a sunny vibe to this winter-themed drink.
- - **1 liter White Cranberry Juice**: This juice adds tartness balancing the sweetness of the pineapple juice. The white cranberry juice also keeps the punch looking festive and light.
- - **1 can 14 oz Coconut Milk**: Coconut milk gives the punch its creamy, rich texture, making it more indulgent and creating a “snowy” white look.
- - **1 liter Lemon-Lime Soda or Sparkling Water**: The bubbles from the soda (or sparkling water) add a zesty, effervescent quality that lightens up the creamy coconut milk. Lemon-lime soda adds more sweetness, while sparkling water keeps it lighter and less sweet.
- - **1/2 cup Sugar Optional**: Depending on your preference for sweetness, sugar can be added to intensify the punch’s flavors.
- - **Ice Cubes**: To keep the punch cold without diluting the flavors too much.
- - **Fresh Cranberries & Rosemary For Garnish**: These garnishes not only add color but give the punch a distinctly festive appearance.
Instructions
1.Mix the Juices
- Start by selecting a large punch bowl that can hold all the ingredients. In the bowl, combine the **chilled pineapple juice**, **white cranberry juice**, and **coconut milk**. Stir thoroughly to make sure the coconut milk is evenly distributed with the juices, creating a smooth, creamy base.
2. Add the Soda
- Once the juice mixture is well combined, slowly pour in the **chilled lemon-lime soda** or **sparkling water**. Stir gently to avoid losing too much of the carbonation. The bubbles will give the punch a delightful fizz, making it feel light and refreshing.
3. Sweeten (Optional)
- Taste the punch to determine if you want it sweeter. If you prefer a more sugary punch, gradually add the **sugar**, stirring until it completely dissolves into the mixture. This step is entirely optional, depending on your taste preferences.
4. Serve
- Now comes the fun part! Add plenty of **ice cubes** to the punch bowl to keep the drink cold throughout your event. For an extra festive touch, garnish the punch with **fresh cranberries** and sprigs of **rosemary**. The vibrant red cranberries and green rosemary against the snowy white punch will look beautiful on your holiday table.
