Scale
Fruits and Juices:
- 4 ounces (118 milliliters) cranberry juice
- 4 ounces (118 milliliters) pineapple juice
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) lime juice
Carbonated Beverage:
- 4 ounces (118 milliliters) ginger ale
Garnish and Serving:
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedge (optional)
- Mint sprig (optional)
Instructions
- Pour cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Vigorously shake the mixture for 10-15 seconds to thoroughly blend and chill the liquids.
- Select a tall glass and fill it generously with fresh ice cubes.
- Strain the shaken juice blend directly over the prepared ice, allowing the liquid to cascade smoothly.
- Carefully pour chilled ginger ale along the side of the glass to create a layered effect and introduce effervescence.
- Gently stir the punch to integrate the ginger ale without disrupting its carbonation.
- Accent the drink with a fragrant lime wedge perched on the glass rim or float a delicate mint sprig for an aromatic garnish.
- Serve immediately to capture the punch’s vibrant, crisp temperature and maximize its refreshing qualities.
Notes
- Choose ripe, fresh pineapple juice for the most vibrant tropical flavor that elevates the entire drink’s taste profile.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to maintain maximum refreshment and prevent dilution when adding ice.
- Experiment with sparkling water instead of ginger ale for a lighter, less sweet alternative that still provides pleasant effervescence.
- Create an adult version by adding a splash of white rum or vodka for a quick cocktail transformation without changing the core recipe.
