Peach Raspberry Punch
A bright alcohol-free party punch with ripe peaches, raspberries, citrus, white grape juice, and sparkling water, finished with fresh mint.
Prep Time:15 minTotal Time:15 minServings:8Difficulty:Easy
This sparkling punch balances juicy summer fruit with enough citrus to keep every glass crisp. White grape juice supplies a mellow base, while raspberries tint the drink naturally and sliced peaches make it feel generous and celebratory.
Muddling a small portion of the fruit with lime juice creates fresh flavor without turning the punch cloudy or pulpy. The remaining fruit stays intact, so each ladleful has colorful pieces that are easy to spoon into glasses.
Keep the juice, fruit, and sparkling water thoroughly chilled before you begin. That lets you use less ice, preserving the punch's flavor and fizz instead of diluting it as guests serve themselves.
Assemble the fruit and juice base shortly before serving, then add the sparkling water at the last moment. A wide pitcher or punch bowl shows off the fruit, and a gentle stir is all it takes to combine the layers without flattening the bubbles.

Pour in the orange juice and white grape juice, then stir until the muddled fruit is evenly dispersed.

Add the remaining peach slices, raspberries, and mint leaves. Stir gently so the raspberries stay mostly whole.
