Fruit Punch

As you all know it was Halloween last night! Aside from all of the creatures, costumes and candy we were busy cooking up some Halloween treats! This fruit punch is an easy alternative to the more complicated variations. We served this up as a festive Halloween treat however it's a delicious drink all year round! If you're using this recipe in the summer, just add a few ice cubes at the end! Enjoy...

Ingredients:
2x 1 litre cartons of still (or sparkling), Carribean Fruit Punch
1x Bottle of Diet Lemonade
A few lashings of Grenadine Syrup
Sliced Lime, Lemon and Orange 
Ice (Optional)

Method:
1. Pour the fruit punch into a punch bowl.
2. Top up with lemonade to an inch below the rim.
3. Pour a few lashings of grenadine syrup into the mixture.
4. Stir gently and carefully with a wooden spoon, make sure the mixture doesn't seep over the sides.
5. Cover the top of the punch with some sliced citrus fruits.
6. Let the fruit punch chill for 1-2 hours in the fridge before serving.
7. Serve with a ladle, if you want throw in a few ice cubes!
8. Enjoy your fruit punch!

Grenadine syrup can be hard to find, Amazon sell it here quite cheaply :

    Do you add alcohol? And if you do, which?

    Hi,

    If you would like, you can add alcohol (spirit) to this recipe, I would recommend some vodka or light rum. The quantities will vary considering how strong you want the punch to be. As this recipe is quite versatile, it's best to experiment with small quantities to find out which spirits and quantities work for you!

    If you find a spirit which you like, please share it with us!

    Thanks, RecipeaseRhys .
