Crack punch
This citrusy, bubbly punch is so good, my kids dubbed it “crack punch.” Fresh, fizzy, and totally addictive—no alcohol, just clean, sippable fun for any gathering.
Ingredients
Boil together for 5 minutes:
- 2 cup water
- 2 cup granulated sugar
Once simple syrup has boiled, add in:
- 2 qts water (We NEVER do this!)
- 4 cup orange juice (no pulp--this is doubled from the original recipe)
- ¾ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed is best
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 TBS almond extract can omit, but it really makes the punch pop!
Instructions
Pour into drink dispenser or punch bowl
- Add lots of Sonic ice.
- Add 2L of a neutral soda (Sprite, 7-Up, Ginger Ale; our fave is Squirt, if you can find it but cherry 7-Up is a good one too)
- Stir & enjoy!
Notes
Fresh squeezed juices are always better for taste but for the sake of convenience, store bought works too. Just get low or no pulp. If you do juice your own citrus, remove as much of the pulp as possible to make it flow through the drink dispenser better. If you use a standard punch bowl, it won't matter.
