Instructions
Orangead
- Prepare the Base: In a large, chilled pitcher, pour in 1 cup of orange juice and 1 cup of apple juice. Stir these together to blend the flavors.
- Add the Sparkle: Pour in 1 cup of sparkling soda and give it a gentle stir, ensuring the drink stays fizzy and refreshing.
- Serve and Garnish: To serve, fill each glass with ice cubes and pour in the orangead. Garnish with a slice of orange on the rim for a colorful touch.
Sunrise Cooler
- Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Place the 12 ounces of frozen strawberries in a blender, pulsing until they become a smooth puree.
- Mix and Freeze: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry puree with 2 cups of orange juice. Stir well, then pour the mixture into a freezer-safe bowl and freeze for about 2 hours, or until it reaches a slushy consistency.
- Add Sparkling Water and Serve: When ready to serve, add 12 ounces of sparkling water to the semi-frozen strawberry and orange juice mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Serve and Garnish: Fill each glass with ice cubes, pour the Sunrise Cooler over the ice, and garnish with whole strawberries and an orange slice.
Sparkling Wine Punch
- Combine the Juices and Punch Base: In a chilled punch bowl, mix together 2 cups of punch base, 1 cup of water, 16 ounces of pineapple juice, 1 cup of orange juice, and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Stir until the flavors are well combined.
- Add the Wine: Pour a bottle of dry white wine into the punch, stirring gently to maintain the sparkle of the wine.
- Serve and Garnish: Add ice cubes, whole strawberries, and a mix of fruit slices (such as orange, lemon, and pineapple) to the punch bowl. This adds a vibrant color and freshness to each glass.
- Enjoy: Serve the punch in chilled glasses, ensuring each one is garnished with a slice of fruit for added appeal.
Each of these refreshing drinks provides a unique flavor profile that makes them crowd-pleasers for any summer event.
