Instructions
- Prepare the Punch Base: In a large punch bowl, combine 4 cups of white cranberry juice, 2 cups of sparkling white grape juice, and 1 cup of coconut water. Stir gently to blend the flavors evenly.
- Add Fizz and Color: Slowly pour in 1 cup of club soda or lemon-lime soda to add bubbles. Add a few drops of blue food coloring, mixing gently until you achieve a soft, pastel blue color reminiscent of a winter frost.
- Incorporate Glitter: Sprinkle edible silver or pearl glitter dust evenly over the punch to create a shimmering, fairy-like effect that catches the light beautifully.
- Prepare Glasses: Optionally, rim your serving glasses with silver or pearl sugar for an extra frosty look. Fill glasses with ice cubes or add an ice ring to the punch bowl to keep the drink chilled without watering it down.

Place white or light blue rock candy sticks in each glass for stirring and a touch of sweetness. Serve immediately to enjoy the festive sparkle and refreshing flavors.
Notes
- Use club soda for a less sweet punch or lemon-lime soda for added sweetness.
- Edible glitter is safe for consumption but ensure it is labeled as food-grade.
- Rock candy sticks not only sweeten the punch but also add a whimsical decorative touch.
- The punch can be prepared ahead of time but add soda and edible glitter just before serving to maintain fizz and sparkle.
- Substitute starfruit slices with thin cucumber ribbons if starfruit is unavailable.
