Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut lemons, limes, and oranges in half and squeeze juice into a large container.

- Put the cut fruit into the container with the juice.
- Pour warm tea over the fruit and let sit overnight.
- Strain the liquid from the fruit and add orange pineapple juice, ginger ale, and maraschino cherries.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter punch, feel free to adjust the sugar based on your taste preferences. If you want a more tropical flavor, consider adding coconut water or swapping some of the orange pineapple juice with mango juice. Make sure to use fresh lemons, limes, and oranges for the best flavor, as they will enhance the overall freshness of the drink.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Regenia's Punch over ice in large glasses and garnish with additional slices of citrus or maraschino cherries for a festive touch. This punch pairs beautifully with festive appetizers or can be enjoyed alongside a light salad. For a fun twist, consider serving it at parties or gatherings as a refreshing non-alcoholic option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover punch in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If the ginger ale is added, it may lose some fizz, so consider storing the ginger ale separately and mixing it in just before serving. To refresh the punch, simply add more ginger ale when ready to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this punch ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the punch a day in advance. Follow the instructions up to the point of straining the fruit and adding the ginger ale. This allows the flavors to meld overnight. Just add the ginger ale before serving to maintain its fizz.
What can I use instead of maraschino cherries?
If you prefer a different flavor or want a healthier option, you can substitute maraschino cherries with fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries. They will add a lovely color and complement the citrus flavors beautifully.
Is it possible to make this punch alcoholic?
Absolutely! To create an adult version of Regenia's Punch, you can add a splash of vodka or rum before serving. Start with 1-2 cups and adjust to your taste. This will give it a nice kick while still keeping the fruity flavor intact.
