Can you make a low sugar/no sugar version of fruit punch?
You can definitely reduce the amount of sugar using diet versions of the soda, low sugar fruit juice, or even flavored unsweetened soda water, but make sure you taste test as you go so you like what you’re making.
Can you make fruit punch with ginger ale?
Yes you can: use the ginger ale in the same proportions as the lemon lime soda.
Can you make fruit punch without pineapple juice?
Yes. Try mango juice, white grape juice, passionfruit juice, or some other fun tropical flavor.
Can you mix alcohol with fruit punch?
If this is party is only for the grown-ups, then yes! I recommend something light and mixable, like vodka.
Can you add sherbet to fruit punch?
Sherbet can be used in place of fruit juice in the frozen ring mold for a fizzy, creamy floating island in the punchbowl. So retro!
