Ingredients
Scale
Base Liquids
- 4 cups white cranberry juice
- 2 cups sparkling white grape juice
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 cup club soda or lemon-lime soda
Color and Decoration
- A few drops of blue food coloring
- Edible silver or pearl glitter dust
- Silver or pearl sugar rim for glasses (optional)
Garnishes and Extras
- Ice cubes or an ice ring (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves
- White or light blue rock candy sticks
- Thin slices of lime or starfruit
- Fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Combine the base liquids: In a large punch bowl or pitcher, pour in the white cranberry juice, sparkling white grape juice, coconut water, and club soda or lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to mix the liquids without losing too much carbonation.
- Add color and sparkle: Add a few drops of blue food coloring gradually, stirring slowly until the punch achieves a pastel blue hue reminiscent of a winter wonderland. Then sprinkle in edible silver or pearl glitter dust to give the punch its magical, fairy-like shimmer.
- Prepare the glasses (optional): If desired, rim the serving glasses with silver or pearl sugar to create an extra frosty effect. This is done by moistening the rim with a slice of lime or water and dipping it into the sugar.
- Chill the punch: Add ice cubes or an ice ring to the punch to keep it cold without diluting the flavors significantly. Stir gently to integrate the ice.
- Garnish and serve: Add fresh mint leaves, thin slices of lime or starfruit, and fresh blueberries to the punch for color and added flavor. Provide white or light blue rock candy sticks in each glass for stirring and a touch of extra sweetness.
Notes
- Use club soda for a less sweet punch or lemon-lime soda for a sweeter, fruitier taste.
- The edible glitter is for decoration only and is food safe; verify the product if concerned.
- Rock candy sticks can be substituted with regular candy sticks or omitted altogether.
- This drink is best served immediately to maintain the fizz and sparkle, but can be prepared up to an hour in advance and kept chilled.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sparkling grape juice or by choosing soda type.
