Can I Use Frozen Strawberries for Punch?

Absolutely! If strawberries are out of season or you’re looking to save time on prep, frozen strawberries are a fantastic alternative. They work well as a natural ice cube, keeping the punch cold without watering it down. Just make sure they’re unsweetened so you can control the sweetness of your drink.

Ingredients for the Strawberry Punch

To make this punch, you only need a handful of ingredients, but each one plays a key role in bringing that sweet, fruity sparkle.

Strawberries – Fresh or frozen, these are the stars. They bring natural sweetness and that vibrant red color.

Lemonade – Adds a bright citrus kick that balances out the sweetness.

Pineapple Juice – Gives tropical notes and a bit of tang that pairs beautifully with strawberry.

Ginger Ale – Brings the fizz and lightness, making the drink feel special and refreshing.

Sugar (optional) – If your lemonade and pineapple juice aren’t sweet enough, a touch of sugar can help balance things.

Ice – Keeps everything chilled and inviting.

How To Make the Strawberry Punch

Step 1: Prep the Strawberries

Hull and slice your strawberries. If you’re using frozen ones, no prep needed—just take them out of the freezer.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the lemonade and pineapple juice. Give it a good stir to mix.

Step 3: Add the Strawberries

Toss the fresh or frozen strawberries into the juice mix. Let them sit for a few minutes so the flavors can mingle.

Step 4: Add Fizz

Right before serving, pour in the ginger ale. This keeps the bubbles fresh and fizzy.

Step 5: Serve Cold

Add ice just before serving or serve the punch over glasses filled with ice. Garnish with extra strawberries or even lemon slices for a little flair.

How to Serve and Store Strawberry Punch

This recipe easily serves 8 to 10 people, making it perfect for parties, picnics, or brunch. Serve it in a glass pitcher for a small gathering or go full-on punch bowl style for bigger events. If you’re looking to elevate presentation, floating some lemon slices or mint leaves on top does wonders.

Leftover punch can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, but keep in mind the ginger ale will lose its fizz over time. To keep it bubbly, store the base separately and add the soda just before serving.
