Fright Night Fruit Punch Mocktail Recipe
This fruit punch mocktail is a hit for spooky parties or even just hanging out with family. I like to use fresh fruit juices and top it off with club soda or ginger ale for a little fizz.
Equipment
- Large pitcher or punch bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Long stirring spoon
- Sharp knife and cutting board
- Citrus juicer (for fresh juices)
- Mason jars or clear cups for serving
- Ice cube tray
- Small bowls for garnishes (like mint leaves or berries)
- Optional: strainer (for pulp)
A big pitcher makes it easy to whip up a batch for a crowd. I always double-check that my knife and cutting board are clean before slicing fruit.
Clear jars or glasses really show off those vibrant colors. I keep extra ice handy so every glass is nice and cold.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chilled fruit punch
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice or mango juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or lime juice
- 1 cup ginger ale or lemon-lime soda (or sparkling water)
- 1-2 tbsp simple syrup, to taste
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (like blueberries or raspberries)
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
- Ice cubes
I usually taste the fruit punch before adding any sweetener—sometimes it’s sweet enough. If I want a little more zing, I’ll squeeze in extra lemon or lime juice.
You can swap ginger ale for sparkling water if you like it less sweet. And honestly, fresh fruit just makes every glass look and taste way better.
Instructions
- Fill the pitcher halfway with ice cubes.
- Add the fruit punch, orange juice, pineapple juice, and cranberry or mango juice.
- Squeeze in the lemon or lime juice.
- Stir well with a long spoon.
- Taste, then add simple syrup if you think it needs it.
- Toss in most of the orange slices, strawberries, and berries, saving a few for serving.
- Pour in the ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, or sparkling water and give it a gentle stir.
- Serve in mason jars or clear cups.
- Garnish with extra orange slices, berries, and mint leaves.
I always add the sparkling soda at the very end so it stays fizzy. Each glass gets a scoop of fruit and a splash of color.
Chilling the pitcher first keeps everything extra cold, which is kind of essential.

Substitute
If I don’t have all the ingredients for my Fright Night Fruit Punch Mocktail, I just improvise a bit. No sense in running out to the store just for one thing, right?
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- No cranberry juice? I’ll grab pomegranate juice or cherry juice instead.
- Out of orange juice? Pineapple or mango juice totally does the trick.
- Can’t find lemon-lime soda? I just mix soda water with a splash of lemon juice.
- Want it less sweet? I swap in plain sparkling water, or sometimes a diet soda if I’m feeling it.
Instructions:
- I start by pouring my chosen juices into the pitcher.
- If I’m using a different soda, I add it right at the end so it keeps that bubbly fizz.
- I taste as I go, adjusting the juice until it’s just how I like it.
Sometimes, I’ll toss in sliced fruit—maybe oranges or strawberries—for a little extra flair. And if I want it super cold, I use frozen fruit instead of ice cubes. Keeps everything chilled, and hey, it doesn’t water down the punch.
