Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 liter orange juice, chilled
  • 1 liter pineapple juice, chilled
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice
  • ½ cup almond syrup (orgeat or amaretto syrup)
  • ½ cup grenadine
  • 1 liter sparkling water or seltzer, chilled
  • Ice cubes

For Gorgeous Garnishes:

  • Orange slices
  • Lime wheels
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Pineapple wedges (optional)
  • Paper umbrellas for extra fun!

Instructions

  1. Create Your Tropical Base: In a large pitcher, combine orange juice, pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and almond syrup. Stir well to blend all those gorgeous tropical flavors. This is your make-ahead punch base!
  2. Make-Ahead Magic: Cover and refrigerate your punch base until party time—it actually gets better as the flavors meld together, and you’ll have one less thing to worry about when guests arrive.
  3. Individual Glass Method: For the most Instagram-worthy presentation, fill glasses with ice, add punch base until halfway full, then slowly drizzle grenadine down the side for that stunning sunset gradient effect. Top with sparkling water and garnish with fruit.
  4. Punch Bowl Spectacular: For serving a crowd, pour the punch base into a large punch bowl, gently stir in grenadine (you’ll still get beautiful swirls!), then add sparkling water and stir once more. Add plenty of ice and float your gorgeous fruit garnishes on top.
  5. Serve with Style: Whether serving individually or from a punch bowl, don’t forget those tropical garnishes! Orange slices, lime wheels, and cherries make every glass feel like a mini vacation. Add paper umbrellas for that authentic tiki bar experience!

Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality juices and chill everything beforehand—cold ingredients make the most refreshing punch! Almond syrup (orgeat) is what gives this punch its authentic Mai Tai flavor—look for it in the cocktail mixers section. The punch base can be made up to 24 hours ahead, but add sparkling water just before serving to maintain the fizz. For extra tropical flair, freeze some juice in ice cube trays to prevent dilution. This recipe easily doubles or triples for larger crowds!
