Ingredients

100g pomegranate arils
500g frozen pineapple
500g frozen raspberries

500ml dry ginger ale
1 litre pineapple juice
1 litre soda water (club soda)
350ml grenadine
3 limes, halved and juiced
bunch of mint, leaves picked
ice

Get out your biggest bowl. Be it a deep salad dish, massive soup pot or mixing bowl, all are perfect vessels. This punch is all about the Ps, and the more the better. Pomegranate, pineapple… I’ll also take a… patio, maybe a… fire pit? Sure. Chuck it in, the bowl is big enough to fit it all. And yes, you are likely to have some tequila left in a bottle, but wasn’t that destined for something else anyway?

THE SUBS

POMEGRANATE ARILS berry of your choice
FROZEN RASPBERRIES berry of your choice
TEQUILA vodka
GRENADINE raspberry syrup
