The Best Punch Recipe

I first tried this punch at my friend Stephanie’s house for a Bunco night. One sip of this drink and I had to know what was in it. Come to find out there are only TWO ingredients!

Perfect for baby or bridal showers as a non-alcoholic option, this simple recipe enhances any gathering without adding complexity to your menu.

  • White Grape Juice Concentrate: This is the base of the punch, providing a sweet and fruity flavor.
  • Fresca or Similar Citrus Soda: Adds fizz and a light citrus taste, enhancing the punch’s refreshing quality.
  • Optional Garnishes (Cara Cara Oranges, Raspberries): These add a pop of color and a hint of fresh, tangy flavor, making the punch more visually appealing and slightly altering the flavor profile.

Quick Tip

Fresca is a diet grapefruit soda made by the Coca-Cola Company. If you can’t find Fresca, you may be able to locate Squirt®, Izze® or a store brand of diet grapefruit soda.

Punch Recipe

This is the ultimate easy party Punch recipe! With just three ingredients, you can whip this up in no time and it's sure to be a crowd pleaser!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Equipment

  • Punch bowl or drink dispenser

Ingredients 
 

  • 1 (12-ounce) container 100% white grape juice concentrate thawed
  • 1 (2-liter) bottle Fresca or similar Citrus Soda
  • Garnish as desired
  • Ice optional

Instructions 

  • Thaw the grape juice concentrate in the fridge. Chill the Fresca in the fridge. If both are cold you won't need ice which will keep the punch from becoming watered down.
  • In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the thawed white grape juice and Fresca. Stir together.
  • If desired, add in washed and thinly sliced and halved Cara Cara oranges and a few washed fresh raspberries.
  • Punch is best made right before serving so it doesn't go flat. I recommend serving ice on the side or adding as it's served so the punch isn't watered down.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: I love to garnish this drink with thinly sliced and halved Cara Cara oranges and fresh raspberries!
Storage: This punch can be saved in the fridge for up to a week, but it will go flat very quickly.

    This punch recipe looks amazing and so simple with just two ingredients! I canโ€™t wait to try it at my next gathering. Thanks for sharing!

      So excited for you to try it!

    Hi Chelsea,
    I have just learned that Welch’s has discontinued their juice concentrates! I haven’t found another brand available — do you have another source? The only option I can think of is apple juice concentrate, but it has a bit more detectable flavor. Thanks for any suggestions.

    1. Chelsea Lords says:

      Do you have access to Old Orchard’s white grape juice or a store-brand?

      1. Linda says:

        I replied a few days ago but don’t know if it went through as I haven’t heard back from you. Bottled white grape juice is certainly available here, but I have found no brands of the frozen concentrate. I like to use it also in other recipes (including baking) instead of sugar, but have been substituting apple jc concentrate for the time being, but prefer white grape as it has a more neutral flavor. Hoping white grape becomes available again soon. Do you have any other suggestions?

        1. Chelsea Lords says:

          Hmm I’m so sorry! I haven’t ever tried anything else but the white grape concentrate so I don’t know what would be best in its place. I think you could use bottled white grape juice; just play around with the quantities a bit since it won’t be the same as the concentrated form.

  3. Ellen says:

    Can this be served with alcohol in it? What would you recommend?

  4. Ramona says:

    There are options; one can always pass. The Punch is NOT mandatory.
    I love a good recipe.

      Punch is for special occasions. Not intended as an everyday beverage.

    I love easy and elegant drink recipes! Have you heard of coffee punch? I think it’s more common in the South but if you haven’t tried it, you’ve got too. It would make a beautiful blog post, too. It’s basically coffee, milk, sugar, and ICE CREAM. So delish. Perfect for a bridal or baby shower.
