Easy Pink Lemonade Punch Recipe
Yield
Makes about 14 to 16 servings, depending on glass size and ice.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (12 ounces each) frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 6 cups cold water
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 liter ginger ale, chilled
- 1 liter lemon-lime soda, chilled
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
- ice, if needed
Ingredient Notes
Frozen pink lemonade concentrate is what gives this punch its color and its main flavor. Using concentrate helps keep the lemonade flavor strong enough to hold up once the soda is added.
Fresh lemon juice helps balance the sweetness so the punch stays bright and refreshing.
Ginger ale and lemon-lime soda together give this a fuller punch flavor than using only one bubbly mixer.
Strawberries and lemon slices make the drink look fresh and party-ready without making the recipe complicated.
How to Make Easy Pink Lemonade Punch for a Crowd
Step 1: Mix the base
In a large pitcher or drink dispenser, whisk together the thawed pink lemonade concentrate, cold water, and fresh lemon juice until smooth and fully combined.
Step 2: Add the fruit
Stir in the sliced lemon and strawberries.
Step 3: Add the bubbles
Right before serving, pour in the ginger ale and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently so you keep as much fizz as possible.
Step 4: Serve
Serve cold over ice if desired.
Make-Ahead Tips
You can mix the pink lemonade concentrate, water, and lemon juice ahead of time and keep it chilled in the refrigerator.
Slice the lemon and strawberries ahead too, but wait to add the soda until just before serving so the punch stays bubbly.
If you want to keep the punch colder without watering it down too quickly, chill all of the ingredients well before mixing and use some frozen strawberries in place of part of the ice.
Variations
If you want the punch a little tarter, add a little extra lemon juice.
If you want it a little sweeter, leave it exactly as written.
If you are serving a larger party, this recipe doubles easily in a drink dispenser.
What to Serve With It
This punch pairs well with:
- brunch casseroles
- cupcakes
- cookies
- tea sandwiches
- fruit trays
- baby shower snacks
- party appetizers
- graduation desserts
Storage
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavor will still be good, but the fizz will fade. Add a splash of fresh soda before serving again if needed.
