Freeze some of the juice into ice cubes the night before instead of using water ice. Regular ice waters the punch down to nothing by the second glass — juice ice keeps it full-strength to the bottom of the bowl.

The Ingredients — and where to get them
Cook for2quarts
Our ratio, your call. The amounts below are a tested starting point — a version, not the one and only. Anything tagged to taste is the knob you turn: start there, then make it yours.
Fruit juice blend
Pineapple, orange, and cranberry is the classic mix — 100% juice, not from concentrate if you can. To taste.
5 cupsto taste
Local / market
Lemon or lime juice
Fresh, to keep it from being cloyingly sweet. To taste.
1/4 cupto taste
Local / market
Ginger ale or club soda
Added last for fizz — ginger ale for sweet, club soda for dry. To taste.
Can you make Party Fruit Punch ahead of time? — Partly
You can batch the mix and keep it cold, but add the ice, soda, and garnish and shake or stir to order — a made-up drink goes flat and watery if it sits.
Is Party Fruit Punch gluten-free? — Yes
Yes — nothing in this recipe as written contains gluten. As always, glance at the labels on any packaged items (broth, sauces, chocolate), since brands vary.
Is Party Fruit Punch vegan? — Yes
Yes — no meat, seafood, dairy, egg, or honey in it as written.
