Ingredients 

This might just be my favorite non-alcoholic party punch because it’s so flavorful and refreshing, but requires so few ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to make it: 

  • Canned pineapple juice – You want 100% juice, plain, unsweetened. Avoid cocktail mixes as they are super sweet.
  • Ginger ale – Feel free to use diet or sugar-free versions if you prefer! If you like a hint of spice with your sweetness, swap with ginger beer (it is still non-alcoholic). A lemon-lime soda like sprite or 7-up can also work, but it does make the recipe a bit sweeter. If you want it less sweet, replace the ginger ale with club soda.
  • Fresh pineapple and strawberries – Chopped. Fresh berries seem to hold a nicer shape, but feel free to use frozen fruit if you prefer! Strawberries can be swapped out for raspberries, peaches, blueberries, or your favorite fruit.
  • Fresh mint leaves – I love the herby flavor this brings to our fruity punch! Basil is another great option, especially if you want to balance out the sweetness.
  • Optional garnishes: lemons, limes, orange slices, pineapple wedges, sliced strawberries, maraschino cherries, fresh herbs

How to Make Pineapple Punch 

Start by dicing up fresh pineapple pieces, adding them to an ice tray. I added chopped mint for beautiful color, too! Pour one cup of the pineapple juice over the fruit and place in the freezer overnight. This step makes deliciously flavorful ice cubes so the punch never gets watered down as it sits!

Once the ice cubes have frozen and you are ready to serve your drink, add your fresh fruit and fancy pineapple ice cubes to a large pitcher or large punch bowl. Pour the punch ingredients (pineapple juice and ginger ale) over the fruit and ice, then stir in a few mint leaves. Voila, that is all it takes!

Can I Make This Punch in Advance? 

The ice cubes can be prepped days ahead of time, but wait until you plan on serving the punch to make it. The ginger ale loses its carbonation over time, so this isn’t a punch you want to prepare in advance. 

Can I make this with alcohol?

Sure! You could replace the ginger ale with prosecco, the perfect way to add bubbles to your summer parties! If you prefer liquor, keep the ginger ale and instead add vodka, white rum, or coconut rum to the original recipe. The amount really depends on how strong you want to make it.

Tips for Making Non-Alcoholic Party Punch 

  • Make sure to purchase plain pineapple juice, not a cocktail base or juice that’s been sweetened or flavored in any way. 
  • If needed, you’re welcome to use diet ginger ale or your favorite low-sugar alternative. For a spicier punch, use ginger beer (yes, it is still non-alcoholic)!
  • Fresh or frozen pineapple can be used in this recipe. Canned would work too, but only if you buy pineapple packed in its own juices. Pineapple packed in syrup would be far too sweet.
