This Strawberry Pineapple Wine Punch is a bright and refreshing drink perfect for warm days and gatherings. Combining crisp white wine with tropical pineapple and sweet strawberries, it offers a delightful balance of fruity flavors with a fizzy finish. It’s easy to make and sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients

• 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
• 2 cups pineapple juice (preferably fresh)
• 1 cup strawberries (sliced)
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 1/2 cup orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau, optional)
• 1–2 tablespoons sugar (to taste, optional)
• 1–2 cups club soda (or lemon-lime soda, for fizz)
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
• Ice (for serving)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Wash and slice the strawberries. If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks.
2. Step 2: In a large pitcher or bowl, combine the dry white wine, pineapple juice, sliced strawberries, pineapple chunks, and orange liqueur if using.
3. Step 3: Taste the mixture and add sugar to your preference, stirring until dissolved.
4. Step 4: Refrigerate the punch for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, or serve immediately if preferred.
5. Step 5: Just before serving, stir in the club soda or lemon-lime soda to add a refreshing fizz.
6. Step 6: Fill glasses with ice and pour the punch over. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use lemon-lime soda for extra sweetness and fizz, or stick to club soda for a lighter, less sweet punch.
• Substitute the orange liqueur with fresh orange juice for a non-alcoholic version.
• For a stronger fruit flavor, macerate the strawberries with a teaspoon of sugar before mixing.
• Add a splash of sparkling water or soda just before serving to keep the fizz fresh.

Storage

Store the punch in the refrigerator in a covered pitcher or bowl for up to 2 days. The fruit can release juices and alter the flavor slightly over time. For the best fizz, add the club soda or lemon-lime soda just before serving rather than storing it mixed in. Leftover punch is best enjoyed chilled and within one day.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make this punch ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the punch base (wine, pineapple juice, and fruit) up to a day in advance and chill it. Add the club soda or lemon-lime soda right before serving to maintain the fizz.

What wines work best for this punch?

Dry white wines like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are ideal for creating a crisp, balanced flavor that complements the fruit without overpowering it.
