Step-by-Step: How to Make Delicious Breakfast Punch

Step 1: Chill the Ingredients

For the best flavor, make sure all your juices and soda are thoroughly chilled before mixing. This also helps keep the punch cold longer without needing too much ice (which can dilute it).

Step 2: Mix the Juices

In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the orange juice, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. Stir well to combine.

Step 3: Add the Bubbles

Just before serving, pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda to add fizziness. Give it a gentle stir to incorporate.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Float fresh orange or lemon slices, a handful of cranberries, and a few sprigs of mint on top for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Brunch Punch Every Time

Use high-quality juices — the flavor really shines through in such a simple recipe.
Chill all ingredients overnight to save time and ensure the punch stays cold.
Add ice just before serving, or place the punch bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice to keep it cool without watering it down.
For added sparkle, use sparkling water instead of soda if you prefer a less sweet version.

You can easily tailor this punch to fit your event:

Christmas Brunch:
Add pomegranate seeds and a cinnamon stick for a festive twist.

Birthday Brunch:
Mix in a splash of grenadine for a fun pink color and sweeter flavor.

Baby Shower Brunch:

How to Make Ahead and Store Breakfast Punch
