Ingredients
Instructions

- Combine the pineapple juice and large Five Alive frozen juice in a large container.
- Add cold water to the juice mixture and stir well.
- Just before serving, add the ginger ale to the punch.
- Serve chilled.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more vibrant flavor, consider adding fresh fruit like sliced peaches or pineapple chunks to the punch. If you can't find Five Alive frozen juice, substitute with any citrus blend juice. To make it less sweet, reduce the amount of pineapple juice or mix in some club soda. This punch also works well with a splash of cranberry juice for added color and tartness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this punch in a large bowl or pitcher with ice and garnish with fresh fruit slices for a festive look. It pairs beautifully with light appetizers like finger sandwiches or fruit platters. This drink is perfect for summer gatherings or holiday parties, and it also complements dishes like Chicken With Spicy Fruit Sauce for a delightful meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover punch in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If the ginger ale has already been added, it may lose its fizz, so it's best to keep it separate until serving. Re-chill the punch before serving again, and consider adding fresh ice to restore the refreshing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
