Ingredients
- 1 750ml Ginger Ale
- 12 oz Can Frozen Limeade Concentrate
- 12 oz Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri Mix
- 16 oz Carton Fresh Strawberries, hulled
- 1 Lemon
- 2 Limes
- 2 1/2 cups Lorenz Crafted Spirit (or Clear Water Distilling Vodka, or other vodka of choice), chilled
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Wash the strawberries, lemon, and limes.
- Juice: Slice one end of the lemon and one end of a lime. Squeeze the juice from these ends into a large pitcher.
- Slice: Slice the remaining lemon and limes into wheels. Reserve a few slices of each for garnish.
- Slice strawberries: Slice the strawberries into thirds, reserving a few for garnish.
- Combine base ingredients: In the large pitcher, combine the ginger ale, frozen limeade concentrate, and frozen strawberry daiquiri mix.
- Stir: Stir vigorously until the frozen concentrates are completely melted and incorporated into the ginger ale.
- Add fruit: Add most of the sliced lemon, lime, and strawberry slices to the pitcher.
- Add spirit: Pour in the Lorenz Crafted Spirit (or vodka).
- Mix well: Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Chill (Optional): If time allows, chill the punch in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Serve the punch in glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with the reserved lemon, lime, and strawberry slices.
Notes
Tips and Variations:
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet punch, use less of the frozen concentrates or add a splash of club soda.
- Other fruits: Feel free to add other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or pineapple chunks.
- Make it ahead: You can prepare the punch base (steps 1-7) a few hours in advance and add the spirit just before serving.
- Serve in a punch bowl: For a more festive presentation, serve the punch in a large punch bowl with a ladle.
- Ice ring: Freeze water with fruit slices in a bundt pan to create a decorative ice ring that will keep the punch cold without diluting it too much.
