Ingredients
Instructions
- The day before serving, combine 2 cups of orange juice with the water in a pitcher.
- Pour 2 cups of the orange juice mixture into a 3-cup ring mold.
- Reserve the remaining orange juice mixture for later use.
- Freeze the mold until firm, about 3 hours.
- Arrange grapes, orange slices, and strawberries around the top of the frozen mold.
- Fill the mold with the reserved orange juice mixture and freeze again until solid.
- Before serving, unmold the fruit punch and pour in the chilled Hawaiian guava drink and dry champagne.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider using freshly squeezed orange juice instead of store-bought. You can substitute the dry champagne with sparkling white wine for a sweeter twist. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, replace the champagne with sparkling water. Adding other fruits like pineapple or kiwi can create a more vibrant punch, similar to the medley found in a Hot Bean Dish In Tomato Sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Fruited Champagne Punch in clear glasses to showcase the colorful fruits. It pairs beautifully with light appetizers like Dill Pickle Bites or can be a festive addition to brunch alongside a rich Pork And Egg Pie. Garnish with additional mint leaves for a refreshing touch and consider offering non-alcoholic options for guests.
Storage & Reheating
This punch is best served fresh, but any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Keep the fruit ice ring separate to avoid dilution. If you need to refresh it, simply add more chilled Hawaiian guava drink before serving. Avoid freezing leftovers as the texture may change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this punch in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the fruit ice ring a day ahead and store it in the freezer. Just combine the remaining ingredients shortly before serving for the freshest flavor. Keeping the guava drink and champagne chilled until serving will ensure a refreshing punch.
What can I use instead of Hawaiian guava drink?
If you can't find Hawaiian guava drink, you can substitute it with any tropical fruit juice like passion fruit or mango, or even a mix of both. Just ensure it complements the other flavors for a balanced punch.
How can I make this recipe non-alcoholic?
To create a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the dry champagne and replace it with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. This will retain the effervescence while making it suitable for all ages.
