Bat’s Bite Berry Punch Mocktail Recipe
Mixing up this fruity, fizzy mocktail is always fun because it’s bursting with fresh berries, juices, and a little sparkle.
It’s quick, easy, and somehow still feels a bit fancy.
Equipment
- Large pitcher for mixing
- Wooden spoon or muddler
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
- Citrus juicer (optional, but handy for fresh lemon or orange juice)
- Small strainer (for smoother juice)
- Glasses for serving
- Ice cube tray
- Serving spoon or ladle
- Straws and garnish picks
Honestly, a pitcher with a spout makes life easier—especially if people are serving themselves.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (add more if you like it sweeter)
- 2 cups fruit punch
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- 1/2 cup ginger ale
- 1/4 cup coconut water (optional for a tropical twist)
- 1/4 cup mint leaves, plus more for garnish
- Ice cubes
- Extra berry slices or mint for topping
Fresh fruits and juices make a difference here, both in taste and color.
I’ll tweak the fruit or juice amounts depending on what flavors I’m feeling that day.
Instructions
- Rinse and slice the strawberries. Pop them in a pitcher with the mint leaves.
- Gently muddle the strawberries and mint to bring out their flavors.
- Add lemon juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice.
- Pour in fruit punch, coconut water, and simple syrup. Stir until everything’s combined.
- Fill your glasses with ice cubes.
- Pour the fruit mixture halfway into each glass.
- Top off with ginger ale and sparkling water or club soda for that bubbly kick.
- Stir gently, then add more mint or berry slices on top if you’re feeling extra.
- Serve right away with straws or garnish picks.
I always sneak a taste before serving—sometimes it needs a touch more sweetness or a squeeze of lemon.
Notes
If I want to prep this early, I keep the soda and ginger ale out until the last minute so the punch stays fizzy.
This recipe is super flexible—double it for a crowd, or cut it down if you’re just making a couple of glasses.
Tip: Swap some of the ice cubes for frozen strawberries or blueberries.
They’ll keep the drink cold without watering it down, which is pretty clever.
If you don’t want it too sweet, just use less simple syrup and add a bit more sparkling water.
The flavors still pop, and you won’t end up with a sugar bomb.

Substitute
Sometimes, I just don’t have everything on hand for Bat’s Bite Berry Punch. But honestly, I’ve discovered some pretty solid swaps that keep it tasty—sometimes I even like them better.
Ingredient Substitutes:
- Berry Juice: If I’m out of mixed berry juice, grape juice or pomegranate juice do the trick.
- Lemon-Lime Soda: I’ve swapped in club soda, sparkling water, or even ginger ale when I’m feeling adventurous.
- Fresh Berries: No fresh berries? Frozen works just fine. I’ve even tossed in sliced grapes or chopped apples when that’s all I’ve got.
Non-Alcoholic Options:
To keep things booze-free, I stick with juices, sodas, and fruit. If a recipe calls for a fancy juice blend and I’m missing it, I’ll just mix up whatever juices are in my fridge.
Allergy-Friendly Ideas:
If someone’s got a citrus allergy, I skip the lemon or lime and add a splash of apple juice for a little extra sweetness.
With these swaps, I can play around with the flavor and make the punch work with whatever’s already in my kitchen. It always turns out pretty darn good, honestly.
