Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 3 cups lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
- 2 cups white grape juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup blue sports drink (like Gatorade Frost Glacier Freeze)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For Serving
- Ice cubes
- Fresh fruit slices for garnish (lemon, lime, or pineapple)
- Optional: glow sticks (non-edible, for display only)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour together the lemon-lime soda, white grape juice, pineapple juice, blue sports drink, and fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to mix all the liquids evenly while preserving the carbonation.
- Add Ice and Garnish: Add ice cubes to chill the punch and float fresh fruit slices like lemon, lime, or pineapple on top for a colorful garnish that complements the vibrant colors of the drink.
- Serve with Glow Effect: Serve the punch in clear glasses or a clear bowl to showcase the glowing colors. For an enhanced visual effect under black light, place non-edible glow sticks around the serving container. Do not place glow sticks directly in the liquid unless they are sealed and approved safe for contact with food.
- Chill Until Ready: Keep the punch chilled in the refrigerator until serving time to maintain freshness and the best drinking experience.
Notes
- For a slushy variation, freeze pineapple juice into ice cubes beforehand to add texture and chill without diluting the flavors.
- Adjust the intensity of the glow effect by varying the amount of blue sports drink to make the colors more or less vibrant according to preference.
