Scale
Main Ingredients

- ½ cup frozen strawberries or pineapple chunks
- Fresh orange or lemon slices (for garnish)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Chill Ingredients: Place all liquid ingredients and frozen fruit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to ensure the cocktail is well chilled before serving.
- Mix Fruit Juices: In a large pitcher, combine the Hawaiian Punch, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors without losing the froth.
- Add Soda: Just before serving, pour in the ginger ale or lemon-lime soda to maintain its fizz and keep the cocktail lively.
- Add Frozen Fruit: Stir in the frozen strawberries or pineapple chunks to keep the drink cold and add a fruity burst with each sip.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill each glass with ice cubes to keep the cocktail refreshingly cold once poured.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the punch mixture over the ice-filled glasses and garnish with fresh slices of orange or lemon. Add decorative straws or umbrellas for a fun presentation, then serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spiked version, add rum or vodka to taste before adding the soda.
- Try substituting sparkling water for ginger ale or soda to reduce the sweetness and calories.
- Use fresh fruit instead of frozen for a less chilled but more natural flavor option.
- Ensure the ginger ale or soda is added last to maintain the carbonation and fizz.
- Adjust the quantity of juices and soda according to personal sweetness and flavor preference.
