When friends or family pop by for a visit, I love having something a little special ready to offer. We’re not big on alcohol in our home, so this easy tropical punch is my go-to for entertaining, it’s fruity, refreshing, and always a crowd-pleaser.
It takes just a few minutes to put together, but it looks beautiful in a jug or drink dispenser and tastes like sunshine in a glass. Whether it’s a weekend BBQ, birthday, or a casual afternoon catch-up, this punch is perfect for any occasion.
Memories of punch goes way back for me, it used to be my Aunty’s speciality every Christmas she would bring all her ingredients and make the kids our very own special drink!! My punch version is very simple.
Serving Tips:
- Serve in clear glasses to show off the vibrant colours.
- Add paper straws or fresh mint for an extra festive feel.
- You can easily make this ahead of time. Just add the ice right before serving to keep it cold without diluting the flavours.
