01 -

This punch strikes the perfect balance of tart cranberry and bright citrus that makes every sip feel like a lively celebration shared between friends
It’s incredibly easy to throw together, with juices you might already have and zero cooking, which made it my go-to for impromptu get-togethers

02 -

Using freshly squeezed citrus juices really makes the punch pop in a way store juices just can't match
Adding sparkling water last keeps the bubbles lively and prevents the punch from going flat too soon

03 -

Chilling the juices and sparkling water separately maximizes the punch's refreshing effect
The secret to a perfectly balanced punch is tasting at every stage and adjusting acidity and sweetness as needed
