We usually call this drink "mock champagne" because it's fizzy and fruity but not overly sweet. This pretty pick-orange punch is one that we often enjoy with company.-Marie Hattrup, The Dalles, Oregon

Adapted from Marie Hattrup's recipe in Taste of Home (Thank you, Marie!). Great for a springtime or summer brunch. Use Splenda and diet ginger ale to make this suitable for diabetics. If you can find reduced calorie juices that is great as well.

Time 20m

Yield 6 one cup servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup sugar or 2/3 cup Splenda granular
2/3 cup club soda or 2/3 cup water
1 cup grapefruit juice
1/2 cup orange juice
3 1/2 cups chilled ginger ale (regular or sugar-free)
3 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice or 3 tablespoons grenadine

Steps:

  • Make a simple syrup out of sugar/Splenda and water (not the club soda), and juices by stirring over low heat until mixture boils.
  • Chill mixture, and gently stir in club soda (if using) as well as the ginger ale just prior to serving (adding these at this point helps retain more carbonation/bubbles).
  • Serve in a punch bowl or in glasses over ice (freezing small pieces of fresh oranges or grapefruit in ice is an extra touch).
