Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Champagne or Sparkling Wine (chilled)
  • 2 cups Orange Juice (chilled)
  • 2 cups Pineapple Juice (chilled)
  • 1 to 2 cups Ginger Ale or Club Soda (chilled, to taste)

Garnishes

  • Fresh slices of Orange, Lemon, and Lime
  • Fresh Berries (such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries)

Optional

  • Simple Syrup (to taste, for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by chilling the champagne and fruit juices to ensure your punch is icy cold and refreshing from the first pour.
  2. Mix the Juices: In a large punch bowl, thoroughly combine the orange juice and pineapple juice to create a smooth and fruity base.
  3. Add Champagne: Slowly pour the chilled champagne into the juice mixture, stirring gently to maintain the bubbles and blend the flavors without losing effervescence.
  4. Add Fizz: Top the punch with chilled ginger ale or club soda, adjusting the amount based on your preferred level of sweetness and fizziness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Add fresh fruit slices and berries to the punch bowl, letting them float for a vivid presentation, then serve immediately to enjoy maximum sparkle.

Notes

  • Chill all ingredients in advance to keep the punch fresh and bubbly for longer.
  • Use a large punch bowl to mix gently and preserve the champagne’s fizz.
  • Add champagne last to prevent excessive foam and maintain bubbles.
  • Choose a quality mid-range champagne or sparkling wine for best flavor without high cost.
  • Adjust sweetness with simple syrup if juices are not sweet enough.
  • Store leftover punch covered in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours, stirring before serving.
  • Do not freeze the punch to avoid loss of carbonation and container breakage.
  • Best served cold and fresh; reheating is not recommended.
