Ingredient Notes
- Raspberry juice – This is the base of the punch so choose a juice you love. Or prepare your own from fresh raspberries.
- Soda – The soda is for the fizz and a bit more sweetness. You can use Sprite or lemon-lime soda.
- Strawberries – These are also for extra sweetness. And the fruit soaks up all the flavor so you want to eat them up too.
- Lemon slices – This balances out the sweetness.
- Ice cubes – To chill the party punch. You can also use frozen fruit so it does not dilute the flavor once melted.
- Cherries – Use fresh cherries as a garnish or anything else you like like mint leaves.
