Print Recipe

A bright, fruity, and festive punch combining fresh berries, Moscato wine, citrus juices, and soda, perfect for summer gatherings and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle Moscato wine (750 ml / 25.4 fl oz)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (optional)
  • 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups club soda or lemon-lime soda
  • 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes or berry ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold water. Hull and halve the strawberries. Set aside a handful of berries for garnish if desired.
  2. Optionally, gently muddle about half of the strawberries and raspberries in the pitcher or a separate bowl using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release natural juices without pureeing.
  3. Pour in the freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Slowly add the chilled Moscato wine, stirring gently to blend flavors without losing bubbles.
  5. Taste the punch and add honey or simple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired. Stir to combine.
  6. Refrigerate the punch for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  7. Just before serving, pour in the club soda or lemon-lime soda for fizz and stir gently.
  8. Serve with ice cubes or berry ice cubes and garnish with reserved fresh berries and fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Use fresh citrus juice for best flavor. Add soda just before serving to keep fizz. Gently muddle berries to avoid cloudy punch. Frozen berries can be used if fresh are unavailable. For non-alcoholic version, substitute Moscato with sparkling white grape juice. Adjust sweetness to taste. Berry ice cubes keep punch chilled without diluting quickly.
