Print Recipe

A bright and bubbly sparkling pink lemonade punch featuring frozen citrus cubes that chill and flavor the drink without watering it down. Perfect for summer gatherings and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh lemons, thinly sliced for freezing and juicing
  • 2 medium fresh oranges, thinly sliced for freezing and juicing
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water (for simple syrup)
  • 1 liter (4 cups) chilled sparkling water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cranberry juice, unsweetened or lightly sweetened (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the lemons and oranges about 1/8-inch thick. Arrange the slices flat in ice cube tray compartments and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Juice the remaining lemons and oranges to yield about 1 cup (240 ml) fresh juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp.
  4. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, mix the fresh citrus juice, cooled simple syrup, and cranberry juice if using. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Just before serving, pour in 1 liter (4 cups) chilled sparkling water. Stir lightly to blend without losing fizz.
  6. Add the frozen lemon and orange slices from the ice cube tray to the punch to chill and infuse flavor.
  7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or extra citrus slices if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Prepare frozen citrus cubes a day ahead to save time. Use fresh juices for best flavor. Chill sparkling water before adding to keep fizz longer. Stir gently after adding sparkling water to preserve bubbles. Adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup or lemon juice as needed.
