Mixed Berry Fruit Punch

As seen in Nutritious and Delicious Recipes.

Bursting with vibrant berries and a touch of zesty ginger, this sparkling party punch combines frozen strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with chilled lemon-lime soda. The use of fresh mint leaves imparts an aromatic freshness, making it especially lively and refreshing. Blending part of the soda with the fruits creates a smooth, vivid puree, while the rest of the soda is added to lighten the texture and give it a fun fizz. Serve immediately over ice and top with extra soda for even more bubbles. It’s a crowd-pleaser that’s quick to make for any get-together.

This mixed berry fruit punch is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any party or barbecue. Packed with tart berries and fizzy lemon lime bubbles, it turns an ordinary afternoon into something special. Every time I set out a pitcher of this punch, it disappears faster than I can refill the glasses.

I first threw this together last summer when I had unexpected guests and a bag of frozen berries in the freezer. My friends now ask me for this punch recipe whenever we gather outside.

Ingredients

  • Cold lemon lime soda: brings tons of effervescence and a bright citrusy flavor so pick a soda without heavy artificial aftertaste for the best punch
  • Frozen mixed berries: give the punch its rich color and tang select berries with plenty of strawberries and blueberries for natural sweetness
  • Fresh ginger paste: adds a gentle warmth and zing make sure it is fresh so it is aromatic not flat
  • Fresh mint leaves: bring a cooling note to balance the berry flavor choose bright green leaves with no wilting
  • More lemon lime soda: for topping off tastes extra fizzy this way look for extra cold cans from the fridge

Step-by-Step Instructions

Blend the Berries:
To a blender add two cups of the lemon lime soda along with all the frozen berries fresh ginger paste and mint leaves. Blend until everything is completely pureed and smooth. If the mixture is thick or not blending add another splash of soda to help move things along. The goal is a vibrant and fully liquid berry base with no large chunks.
Transfer and Combine:
Pour the berry puree into a tall pitcher. You may need to work in batches if your pitcher is smaller or split the puree between two pitchers. Slowly pour the rest of the lemon lime soda into the pitcher and stir gently to mix everything together. Do not rush this step as pouring too fast may make the punch foam up.
Serve and Top Off:
Pour the punch into serving glasses and top off each glass with an extra splash of soda for added fizziness. This adds a fun bubbly layer and makes each serving extra special. Serve immediately over ice if desired for maximum chill.

My favorite part is when the ginger and mint hit just right. My niece once tried to guess every single fruit in the glass and her face lit up when she discovered how much flavor came from the berries. That little game is now a family tradition at our summer parties.

Storage tips

Store leftover punch in a sealed pitcher in the fridge for up to one day. The soda will lose some fizz over time so if you make it ahead you can always add a splash of fresh soda to each glass before serving. I sometimes freeze extra punch in popsicle molds for a chilly treat.

Ingredient substitutions

You can swap in any frozen fruit blend for the mixed berries if needed. Pineapple and mango work nicely for a tropical twist. If you do not have ginger paste use a quarter teaspoon of ground ginger or leave it out for a milder version.
