Instructions
-
Prepare the Raspberry Mixture:
- In a large punch bowl, combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the frozen sweetened raspberries to the bowl. Stir gently to mix everything together.
-
Chill the Mixture:
- Cover the punch bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the raspberries are partially thawed.
-
Add the Ginger Ale:
- Just before serving, pour in the ginger ale. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to crush the raspberries.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Add the fresh raspberries and lemon slices to the punch bowl.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and ladle the raspberry punch over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with a few extra raspberries and a slice of lemon.
Tips for Serving:
-
For a decorative touch, freeze some raspberries in ice cube trays and add them to the punch bowl. This not only looks beautiful but also keeps the punch cold without diluting it too quickly.
-
You can adjust the sweetness of the punch by adding more or less sugar according to your taste preferences. Taste the mixture before adding the ginger ale and adjust as needed.
-
To make it a bit fancier, you can also add a splash of sparkling water or lemon-lime soda along with the ginger ale for some extra effervescence.
-
This punch can easily be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the raspberry mixture and chill it in the refrigerator. When it’s time to serve, add the ginger ale and garnishes.
