Ingredients
Scale
- 750 ml chilled champagne or sparkling wine (Brut or Extra Dry recommended)
- 1 cup (240 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) pineapple juice (canned unsweetened works fine)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- A handful fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- Lemon slices (thinly sliced, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (optional, for sweeter punch)
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple chunks under cold water. Hull and slice the strawberries, and thinly slice the lemon. Set aside mint leaves for garnish. (About 10 minutes)
- In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine orange juice and pineapple juice. Stir in simple syrup if using. (2 minutes)
- Gently stir in sliced strawberries, blueberries, pineapple chunks, and lemon slices. (2 minutes)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let fruit infuse flavor. (30 minutes)
- Just before serving, slowly add chilled champagne or sparkling wine. Stir gently with a long spoon to combine without losing bubbles. (2 minutes)
- Float fresh mint leaves on top for garnish. Serve immediately over ice if desired. (5 minutes)
Notes
Avoid stirring vigorously after adding champagne to preserve bubbles. Use fresh, ripe fruit for best flavor and texture. Chill juices and champagne beforehand to keep punch crisp and bubbly. For non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling water, club soda, or ginger ale.
