Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 packets Unsweetened Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid (0.13 oz each)
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 can Pineapple Juice (12 oz)
  • 1 can Frozen Lemonade Concentrate, thawed (12 oz)
  • ½ liter Sprite
  • Ice
  • Red Sanding Sugar for glass rim (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Pour 2 quarts of water into a 1-gallon pitcher. Add the Kool-Aid mix and sugar, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a well-blended sweet and tangy base.
  2. Add Juices: Pour in the pineapple juice and thawed frozen lemonade concentrate into the pitcher. Stir the mixture thoroughly ensuring all the flavors combine seamlessly.
  3. Prepare Glass Rims: Moisten the rim of each serving glass by dipping the rim into water, then immediately dip it into red sanding sugar to create a festive, decorative edge. This step is optional but adds a fun presentation element.
  4. Chill and Add Fizz: Just before serving, add ice cubes and the ½ liter of Sprite to the punch in the pitcher. Stir gently to mix the carbonation evenly without losing the fizziness.
  5. Serve: Carefully pour the punch into the prepared glasses with the red sanding sugar rims. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, holiday-inspired drink!

Notes

  • The punch is best served chilled and consumed the same day for optimal freshness and fizz.
  • Red sanding sugar on the rims adds a festive touch appropriate for holiday parties but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Adjust the sugar amount if you prefer a less sweet punch.
  • This recipe yields approximately 4 servings.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator without ice and Sprite; add fresh Sprite when ready to serve again.
