Recipe Overview

• Serves: 8–10 people
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 10 minutes

Tools You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll want to have on hand to make this punch as stress-free as possible:

• Large pitcher (holds at least 2 quarts) or a punch bowl for bigger gatherings.
• Mixing spoon for combining the ingredients.
• Measuring cups for precise portions.
• Sharp knife and cutting board for slicing garnishes.
• Glasses or cups (opt for clear ones to show off the pretty color!).
• Optional: Ice mold for making a festive ice ring with frozen fruit.

Ingredients

• 4 cups pink lemonade (store-bought or homemade—see my quick recipe below!)
• 2 cups white grape juice – Sweet, light, and perfectly balances the punch.
• 2 cups club soda or lemon-lime soda – Add just before serving for fizz.
• 1 cup pineapple juice – A tropical touch that screams spring.
• Ice cubes

Garnishes (Optional but Fun!)

• Fresh strawberries (sliced) – Adds a pop of color and fruity flavor.
• Mini marshmallows – Like fluffy little bunny tails, these are an Easter delight!
• Pastel sprinkles – For rimming glasses or adding a whimsical touch.
• Edible flowers – Pansies or violets are perfect for a grown-up presentation.

Instructions

1. Combine the liquids: In a large pitcher, mix pink lemonade, white grape juice, and pineapple juice. Stir until well blended.
2. Chill it down: Add a generous amount of ice to the pitcher or serve the punch over ice in individual glasses. If you’re hosting a long event, keeping ice separate prevents the punch from diluting.
3. Add the fizz: Just before serving, gently stir in the club soda or lemon-lime soda. This preserves the bubbles and keeps the drink light and refreshing.
4. Garnish and serve: Add fresh strawberry slices to each glass, top with marshmallows, or get creative with edible flowers and sprinkles for a festive finish.

Quick Homemade Pink Lemonade

Want to make this from scratch? Here’s how:

• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup cranberry juice or grenadine syrup

1. In a pitcher, mix the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
2. Stir in water and cranberry or grenadine syrup. Adjust sweetness to taste.

This quick recipe adds a fresh, homemade touch to your punch.

Make-Ahead & Batching Tips

• Mix Ahead: Combine the pink lemonade, white grape juice, and pineapple juice up to 24 hours in advance. Store in the fridge in a covered pitcher or container.
• Add Fizz Last: Wait to stir in the club soda or lemon-lime soda until just before serving to keep it bubbly and fresh.
• Double or Triple the Batch: For larger gatherings, simply multiply the ingredients. Use a punch bowl or beverage dispenser for easy serving. If scaling up, freeze some of the juice mixture into ice cubes or an ice ring to keep the punch cold without diluting it.

Storage

If you have leftovers (rare, but it happens!), here’s how to store your Pink Bunny Punch:

• Refrigeration: Transfer any leftover punch to an airtight container or pitcher. It will keep for up to 2 days, but the fizz will diminish. For best results, enjoy within 24 hours.
• Freezing: Freeze leftover juice (without soda) in an ice cube tray to use in future punches or smoothies.

Ways to Customize

Make this punch uniquely yours with these fun variations:

• Berry Bliss: Add fresh raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries for extra flavor and color.
• Citrus Twist: Garnish with slices of lemon, lime, or pink grapefruit for a zesty touch.
• Frozen Fun: Blend the punch with ice for a slushy version that kids will love.
• Adult Option: For the grown-ups, add a splash of sparkling rosé or vodka to a separate batch.

Perfect Pairings

Pair this punch with your favorite Easter or springtime dishes:

• Carrot Cake Cupcakes: Sweet, spiced, and the perfect dessert for this fruity punch.
• Deviled Eggs: A savory, classic appetizer that balances the sweetness.
• Fresh Fruit Salad: Light and colorful, it complements the punch perfectly.
