Fresh Fruity Punch

By Darian Davis

This month I want to share with you one of my favorite drinks to have, especially after I have had a rough practice or a basketball game. You won’t feel guilty about indulging in this naturally sweet drink. My punch has chunks of fresh fruit so you actually get a helpng of some of your favorite fruits while enjoyng a thirst quenching drink. It’s like drinking a fruit salad. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups of apple juice
2 cups white cranberry juice
2 cups orange juice
½ cup grapes of your choice
½ cup strawberries sliced or whole
½ cup canned pineapple chunks in own juice
½ cup cantalope chunked
½ cup oranged chunked
½ cup honey dew melon chunked

Technique:

You will need an extra large punch bowl or container to make and store this punch in. Combine all the juices together in the bowl then add fruits. Garnish the glass with lemon or lime optional. Serve with a ladle.
