Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 5 cups white cranberry strawberry juice
- 5 cups lemon-lime soda
Fruit Puree
- 12 ounces raspberries, blended and sieved
Garnish
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced into heart shapes
Optional
- 1-2 quarts raspberry sherbet
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Puree: Place 1 cup of the white cranberry strawberry juice and 12 ounces of raspberries into a blender. Blend on high speed for at least 1 minute until smooth. Press the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, then discard the seeds. This creates a smooth raspberry puree.
- Slice Strawberries: Slice the strawberries into heart shapes for an attractive garnish to add later.
- Mix Punch Base: In a large pitcher or small punch bowl, combine the remaining 4 cups of white cranberry strawberry juice with the raspberry puree. Stir well to combine the flavors thoroughly.
- Add Soda and Garnish: Pour in the lemon-lime soda and stir gently once or twice to slightly combine without losing the soda’s fizz.
- Add Sherbet (Optional): If desired, add 1 to 2 quarts of raspberry sherbet to the punch for a creamy and chilled element.
- Serve: Garnish with the sliced heart-shaped strawberries and serve immediately for a delicious and visually appealing party drink.
Notes
- Note 1: For different sized batches, adjust the juice and soda quantities proportionally.
- Note 2: To slice strawberries into hearts, cut the stems out with a small paring knife and slice carefully to reveal heart shapes.
