RECIPE FEATURES
- Quick: Chill the ingredients overnight. This makes it a snap to mix things together and serve.
- Easy to Customize: Use sprite, ginger ale, or even club soda!
- Pretty: Fill the pitcher with fruit for a beautiful finish.
I’m constantly looking for a refreshing summer drink, and this punch with pineapple juice and sprite checks all of the boxes. It is loaded with tropical flavor and could not be simpler to make. The best blend of pineapple and lime with a delightful fizz added by soda. A win-win.
Bonus? You only need 3 base ingredients and you can add almost any fruit you’d like. Loading your punch bowl, or pitcher, with fresh fruit will look restaurant worthy. Freeze pineapple and orange slices for the most beautiful finish and a fun treat to serve with the drinks!
PINEAPPLE PUNCH INGREDIENTS
I’m a sucker for a good punch recipe, be sure to check out the massive list of must-make punch recipes here, and there are two key rules I like to follow: Minimal ingredients + bold flavor. This pineapple drink wins in all categories and is a new family favorite. We will be making this all summer long!
- Pineapple Juice: I found a container of juice that was exactly the perfect size next to the grape juice in our grocery store. It has one main ingredient, pineapple, which is exactly what you need for this drink.
- Limeade Concentrate: My secret ingredient. Limeade pairs so well with almost any punch recipe and is just around $2 at the store. I always have one in my freezer.
- Soda: Sprite, ginger ale, or club soda. All will work in this recipe.
- Fruit: Fresh, or frozen, fruit. I like to chop a fresh pineapple into large chunks and freeze. I use the frozen pineapple in place of ice, which helps to keep the punch from becoming watered down.
HOW TO MAKE NON ALCOHOLIC PINEAPPLE PUNCH
- PREP: Gather all of your ingredients, dice or chop the pineapple and freeze with any other fruits you plan to use.
- CHILL: While the fruit is freezing, chill the soda and pineapple juice. This will ensure you have an ice cold punch ready to serve in minutes. We toss ours straight into the refrigerator after purchasing.
- POUR: Pour the limeade and pineapple juice into a large pitcher or punch bowl. Stir until combined. Add the fresh fruit.
- SERVE: Top off with soda just before serving and enjoy!
HELPFUL TOOLS
- Punch Bowl OR Pitcher: I own an embarrassing amount of pitchers. However, this one (affiliate) is my all-time favorite. It secures tightly, comes in a 1 or 2 gallon size, and an optional ice center piece to keep your beverages cold.
- Knife Set: I’ve been loving my Nakano Knives. They are so pretty but also slice through fruit like butter. Use code 1SWEETAPPETITE for 20% off!
- Punch Glasses: Necessary? No. Fun? Definitely. This is my current favorite set of punch glasses (affiliate).
PUNCH RECIPE TIPS
Want to make this a cocktail? Add a little rum! Nothing pairs quite as well with pineapple. You can also try vodka or tequila.
Of course! Add a few scoops of your favorite sherbet to each glass, or right on top of the punch bowl.
You can mix all of the ingredients, minus the sparkling soda, up to 12 hours in advance. Add the soda just before serving.
This recipe does great with almost any tropical fruit. We like to use pineapple, oranges, and limes. But you can also use raspberries, mango, or kiwi. Try freezing your fruit to help keep the punch cold without watering down with ice.

Do you usea 6 or 12 ounce can of limeade? I don’t see it stated anywhere.
Great question, Elaine. I’ll add that into the recipe card. It’s 12 oz.
I did this for a school project
Has anyone used pre-made Limeade like Simply Limeade? I can’t find the frozen concentrate around me anywhere!
How much rum would you add? Would that be in place of something else?
I would love to make this for a bridal tea! Could you add Prosecco to a glass of punch? Like a mimosa?
Prosecco would be a delightful addition. I think I would use less (or none) of the soda if I was serving with a sparkling wine.
can i use lemonade instead of limeade ???
I wouldn’t recommend it for this reicpe.
Could I add pineapple sherbet to this to help keep it cold?
I’ve never tried it, but it would most likely add a creamy finish that is delicious
Could you sub pineapple-mango juice? Or would the mango throw off the flavors?
Hi Kelly, I think that would be a delicious swap.
Did you use the limeade concentrated or add the water as directed on the can?
No need to add water. Just the concentrate.
Delicious! I made it for my daughter and friends as they were getting ready for prom. It was a hit!
Awesome! I’m so glad it worked out well, Stacy! I hope they had a wonderful prom.
plan to make it, how many 6 to 8 oz servings would it yield??
You should get about 15-16 8 oz servings and 12 6 oz servings.
Served this last week at a bridal tea. Everyone loved it.
Hi Sandra, thank you so much for taking the time to rate my recipe. I’m glad it worked out for your bridal tea!
