Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sugar
- 6 cups Water
- 4 cups Pineapple Juice
- 4 cups Orange Juice
- 1 cup Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
- 4 cups Lemon-Lime Soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP)
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has fully dissolved. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely. This is your simple syrup base.
In a large mixing bowl or container, combine the cooled simple syrup, pineapple juice, orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the punch mixture to freeze for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until completely icy and slushy.
When ready to serve, use a spoon or ice cream scoop to scrape and break up the frozen punch into a slushy consistency. Place the slushy mixture in a large punch bowl.
Gradually pour the lemon-lime soda over the slush in the punch bowl. Stir gently to combine. Serve immediately in cups with a spoon or straw for easy drinking.
