Ingredients

  • 3 cups pineapple juice
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 2 cups cranberry juice cocktail
  • 1 cup fruit punch juice (or tropical fruit blend)
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • ½ cup grenadine syrup
  • ⅓–½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes, for serving

Optional Garnishes

  • Orange slices

  • Fresh strawberries
  • Pineapple chunks
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the Juices

In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, fruit punch juice, lemon juice, and lime juice. Stir well until all the flavors are evenly mixed.

Step 2: Add Sweetness

Pour in the grenadine syrup and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Taste the punch and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add more grenadine for a deeper red color and sweeter fruit flavor.

Step 3: Dilute and Chill

Add the cold water and stir again. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 4: Serve

Fill glasses with ice and pour the punch over the top. Garnish with fresh fruit slices, berries, or mint for a festive presentation.
