The pineapple juice infuses the punch with a tangy sweetness, conjuring images of sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. Meanwhile, the classic, citrusy zing of orange juice offers a nostalgic touch that’s universally loved. The real kicker? Ginger ale. This bubbly addition not only adds effervescence but also introduces a subtle spiciness, creating a layered flavor profile that’s equal parts refreshing, sweet, and exhilarating.
Brunch Punch Ingredients
This perfect punch only has a handful of very basic ingredients, which makes it even more appealing and a good idea to keep these ingredients on hand. Let’s dive into the ingredient list or you can hop down to the recipe card for everything you need.
- Orange Juice: Fresh orange juice if you can; it’s a game-changer. But hey, store-bought is fine if you’re crunched for time.
- Pineapple Juice: We tested with a few different brands and all voted that they taste similar. I’d go with what you love, but you can never go wrong with a fresh pineapple juice.Â
- ​Ginger Ale or Sprite: This ingredient adds a delightful bubbly finish with just a touch of sweetness. I prefer ginger ale, but we tested sprite and it was so so good. You can’t go wrong either way.
- Lime Juice: The secret ingredient. A squeeze of lime juice adds a citrus finish that takes this from good to great.Â
- Fresh Fruit: Do you need fresh fruit? No. But it makes for a beautiful finish and decoration.Â
Breakfast Punch Recipe
Ready for a pro tip for this delicious punch? Chill all of the ingredients in advance. That makes it easier to serve immediately and less of a need for ice, which can water down your drink.Â
- PREP: Chill all of the ingredients in advance. We like to stick them in the fridge the night before so they are nice and cold when we’re ready to serve.
- MIX: Add the orange juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice into a large pitcher. Give a light stir. This can be done a few hours in advance and kept stored in the refrigerator.
- BUBBLY: When ready to serve, add in the soda and fresh fruit, if using, for a fun finish!
- ENJOY: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Helpful Tools
- Punch Bowl (affiliate): Your breakfast punch needs a stage to shine on, and a stylish punch bowl is it. Makes for easier serving, too!
- Citrus Juicer: If you’re going all out with fresh OJ, a citrus juicer is your go-to gadget for extracting every drop of goodness.
- Ice Tray: Go beyond regular ice cubes—use a creative ice tray to make flavored or fruit-infused ice that elevates your punch game.
- Chopping Board & Knife: For slicing fruits or other garnishes, a good chopping board and knife are essentials.
Recipe Notes:
Absolutely! Prepare it the night before and let it chill. Just add the ginger ale right before serving to keep that fizzy excitement alive.
Go for freshly squeezed if you can; it’s a game-changer. But hey, store-bought is fine if you’re crunched for time.
Lemon lime soda, club soda with a splash of ginger syrup can work. Or, spice it up with some ginger beer!
That totally depends on how thirsty your crowd is! But usually, it serves around 8-10.
Aim for no more than 2 hours at room temp. Or, keep it chilled with an ice ring.
Yes! Replace the ginger ale with your favorite prosecco or sparkling wine for a snappy brunch cocktail.Â
