Equipment

  • Large punch bowl or pitcher (2-quart capacity)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon: For stirring.
  • Ice cube trays
  • Blender (for pureeing fruit if using fresh)
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Citrus juicer or reamer
  • Serving ladle
  • Glassware for serving (mason jars or highball glasses work well)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups peach nectar
  • 2 cups pear juice or nectar
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 3 cups ginger ale or sparkling water
  • 1 fresh peach sliced
  • 1 fresh pear sliced
  • 1 orange cut into rounds
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Optional additions:

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Fresh berries for extra color
  • Frozen fruit instead of ice cubes to prevent dilution

Instructions

  • Prepare the fruit. Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly.
  • Slice the peach and pear into thin wedges. Cut the orange into rounds or half-moons.
  • Mix the base. In your punch bowl or pitcher, combine the peach nectar, pear juice, orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir well.
  • Add sweetener. Mix in the honey or agave syrup.
  • If using honey, you may want to dissolve it in a small amount of warm water first to help it blend more easily.
  • Chill the mixture. Refrigerate the juice mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Add carbonation. Just before serving, gently stir in the ginger ale or sparkling water to maintain the fizz.
  • Add fruit and ice. Add the sliced fruit to the punch and fill with ice.
  • Reserve some fruit slices for garnishing individual glasses.
  • Garnish and serve. Float mint leaves on top of the punch. Serve in glasses with additional fruit garnish on the rim.

Notes

This recipe serves approximately 8-10 people.
For a stronger fruit flavor, you can puree some additional peaches and pears and add them to the mixture. Strain the puree first to remove any pulp.
For a make-ahead option, combine all non-carbonated ingredients and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add the ginger ale or sparkling water just before serving.
The punch can be easily modified for different seasons.
In summer, add strawberries or raspberries. In fall, use apple cider instead of pear juice and add a cinnamon stick.
For a more adult version, this can be turned into a cocktail by adding 1 cup of prosecco or white wine to the mixture. You can also create frozen versions by blending the mixture with ice.
