Picnic Fruit Punch: A Refreshing, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Beverage

Summer picnics and outdoor gatherings are incomplete without a refreshing, fruity punch that everyone can enjoy. This Picnic Fruit Punch is not only delicious but also crafted to cater to those with gluten and dairy intolerances, making it an inclusive treat for all. With a prep time of just 10 minutes and serving up to 10 persons, it's a perfect beverage that allows you to spend more time enjoying the company of your friends and family rather than being tied up in the kitchen.

At just 206 calories per serving, this punch is a guilt-free indulgence. The caloric breakdown is well-balanced, with a negligible percentage in protein and fat, and the bulk of the calories coming from the carbohydrates - all those natural sugars that make this drink irresistibly tasty. The preparation is straightforward, combining the juices and chilling them to allow the flavors to meld before adding the ginger ale and orange slices for a burst of freshness and zest.

The key to preserving the integrity of this punch is in the serving method. By adding ice directly to the glasses and placing the orange slices in individual servings instead of the punch bowl, you ensure that your Picnic Fruit Punch remains vibrant, fizzy, and visually appealing until the last drop. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, a picnic in the park, or just looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy at home, this Picnic Fruit Punch is sure to be a hit.

Ingredients

  • cups 1/4 cup dried cranberry (juice sweetened if possible) 
  • cups pineapple juice 
  • cups orange juice 
  • 0.3 cup juice of lemon 
  • liter ginger ale chilled
  • medium navel oranges sliced

Equipment

  • bowl

Directions

  1. In a large container (such as a pitcher) pour in the cranberry, pineapple, orange and lemon juices, and stir until well combined. Cover the container opening with storage wrap, and refrigerate for at least eight hours or up to two days.
  2. Just before serving, transfer the fruit punch to a punch bowl. Stir in the ginger ale and orange slices. Editor’s Tip: To avoid watering down the punch, add ice cubes directly to each serving glass instead of the punch bowl. To preserve the orange slices’ integrity, too, you can add them directly to glasses so they don’t sit in the punch bowl and become soggy.
