Ingredients
Instructions
- Place pineapple and juice in a punch bowl.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the pineapple.
- Add the rum or brandy and let stand for 2 hours.
- Add the chilled wine and champagne or soda water before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with strawberries.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter punch, you can adjust the sugar to your liking or use a flavored sparkling water instead of soda water. If you want to make it more tropical, add some diced mango or coconut water. Make sure to chill the wine and champagne well before serving to keep the punch refreshing. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the wine with grape juice and use sparkling water.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the punch in a large bowl with ice to keep it chilled. Garnish with fresh strawberries for a beautiful presentation. This punch pairs well with light appetizers like shrimp cocktail or a cheese platter. For a festive touch, consider serving alongside Katie'S Stuff, which complements the fruity flavors.
Storage & Reheating
This punch is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The carbonation from the champagne will diminish, so it's best to consume it sooner rather than later. Refrain from freezing, as the texture of the pineapple will change.
