Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
3 cups cold water
2 cups chilled sparkling water or ginger ale
2 cups ice cubes
Fresh strawberry slices, raspberries, and lemon wheels for garnish
Instructions
1. Add fresh strawberries and raspberries into a high-speed blender.
2. Blend on high until completely smooth.
3. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large punch bowl or pitcher.
4. Add fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey or simple syrup.
5. Pour in cold water and stir everything together until well combined.
6. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon as needed.
7. Add ice cubes to the punch bowl.
8. Pour in chilled sparkling water or ginger ale right before serving and stir gently.

Notes
Always add sparkling water or ginger ale right before serving to keep the fizz alive and vibrant.
Strain the berry puree thoroughly for the smoothest and most elegant punch texture.
Double or triple the base recipe easily for larger parties — add sparkling water per batch.
Make the berry lemonade base up to 2 days ahead and store in the fridge — add fizz only when serving.
Swap honey with agave syrup to keep this punch fully vegan.
