When there’s an occasion at home and you want to make things a little bit more special, fruit punch is a great drink to serve. The kids can drink it, and for those adults who have to drive or wish to limit their alcohol intake fruit punch makes a far more pleasant non-alcoholic alternative than plain orange juice. Learn how to make fruit punch with the drink recipes below.

Trust Your Taste Buds

Fruit punch is based, not surprisingly, on fruit juices. How exotic and complex you want your punch to be is really up to you. Most fruit juices will combine well together and if you trust your taste buds it’ll be a rare occasion when you end up with something completely undrinkable.

Along with fruit juice and certain other sparkling ingredients, fragrant herbs like kaffir lime leaves, coriander and mint can be used to add greater dimension to your fruit beverages.
