Serving Suggestion

Consider serving this punch in a large bowl or a drink dispenser, garnished with fresh fruit slices or a few maraschino cherries for a festive touch! 🥳

Ingredients

• 1 quart strong brewed tea (chilled)
• 1 quart orange juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ½ quart pineapple juice or grapefruit juice (your choice!)
• 1½ cups sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 bottle ginger ale (add just before serving for fizz)
• Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled tea, orange juice, lemon juice, pineapple (or grapefruit) juice, and sugar.
2. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

🍯 Tip: If you prefer a sweeter punch, feel free to add more sugar or a splash of simple syrup. For a healthier option, you can use stevia or honey!

3. Refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
4. Just before serving, add the ginger ale for that fizzy kick!
5. Gently mix in maraschino cherries for a pop of color and flavor.

🍋 If desired, you can also add some sliced limes or oranges as additional garnishes, adding both beauty and taste!

Variations

• Citrus Passion: Add some passion fruit juice for an exotic flavor twist! 🍍
• Herbal Twist: Infuse your tea with fresh mint before mixing for a refreshing herbal note. 🌿
• Sparkling: Substitute sparkling water for ginger ale if you prefer a less sweet, more subtle sparkle.
• Mocktail Version: Omit the ginger ale and serve over ice as a non-fizzy treat for kids!
