Fruit
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Liquids
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 2 cups pineapple juice (preferably fresh)
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau, optional)
- 1–2 cups club soda or lemon-lime soda (for fizz)
Sweetener
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar (to taste, optional)
Other
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and slice them into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks suitable for the punch.
- Mix the Punch: In a large pitcher or bowl, combine the dry white wine, pineapple juice, sliced strawberries, pineapple chunks, and orange liqueur if using. Stir the mixture well. Taste the punch and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar if additional sweetness is desired; stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Chill: Refrigerate the punch for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. If you prefer to serve it immediately, you may skip this chilling step, though chilling is recommended for optimal flavor.
- Serve: Just before serving, stir in the club soda or lemon-lime soda to add a refreshing fizz to the punch. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the punch over the ice, and garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- For a sweeter punch, use lemon-lime soda instead of club soda.
- Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit and your taste preference.
- This punch can be made a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated for convenience.
- Substitute orange juice for orange liqueur for a non-alcoholic version.
- Use fresh fruit for best flavor, but canned pineapple can be used if fresh is not available.
