·         Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

§ In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour in the pineapple juice, lemonade, orange juice, and coconut water. Stir well to combine.

§ Add the frozen pineapple chunks, orange slices, and lemon slices.

§ Just before serving, gently pour in the lemon-lime soda to maintain the fizz.

§ Add plenty of ice to chill the punch or serve over individual glasses filled with ice.

§ Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for a refreshing finish.

Notes

Add soda just before serving to keep the punch fizzy.
Make a large batch and store the juice base in the fridge for parties.
Use frozen pineapple for extra chill and no dilution.
For adult versions, white rum or vodka mixes perfectly.
Add fresh mint and citrus to enhance aroma and color.
Store leftovers in the fridge, but note that the soda will lose its fizz.

For themed parties, tailor the fruits and garnish colors accordingly.
