This summer, I’m excited to partner with Smirnoff to share some delicious, simple and fun punch recipes that are sure to make your next summer gathering unforgettable. June marks the official start of summer fun. It is not only my birthday month (my bday was on the 7th but I’m still accepting gifts), it is also Pride Month! Most consider pride month a celebration exclusive to the LGBT community but Smirnoff and I believe pride is all about inclusion so that means anyone and everyone can participate! Smirnoff’s motto “Exclusively for Everybody” says it best.
Pride month is all about being yourself and celebrating who you uniquely are, and anyone can do that! The LGBT community will be kicking off celebrations throughout June all over the country from New York to San Francisco, and you can have just as much fun planning celebrations of your own! I recommend you start with this Berry Rhubarb Punch.
Not only is this punch simple to make, it is filled with in-season fruit and vegetables that truly capture the spirit of summer. Strawberries, raspberries and rhubarb are not just for your summer pie baking. Together, they make one mean punch brimming with seasonal flavor and dramatic colors. The punch begins with a berry rhubarb simple syrup that creates the most fantastic deep ruby color. Coupled with ginger-ale and Smirnoff Raspberry, which has the most subtle yet amazing hint of raspberry essence, the final recipe packs a fantastic “punch” (pun intended) of tangy fizz, fruity deliciousness, refreshing mint, sugary sweetness and responsible alcoholic bliss. I’m sure you will want to make this time and time again for your adult parties this season.

I made this for a party back in the summer, and it went down a treat! I substituted the raspberry vodka for rhubarb gin (everyone is mad for gin these days) and it was lovely. but I’m going to make it with vodka this weeken.. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Rhubarb has always been one of my favourite summertime treats. I’ll have to try turning it into a boozy punch. Yum!
Love this drink – so refreshing and perfect for summer!
I want a GALLON of this right now!
This punch sounds amazing! I feel like rhubarb is so underutilized but is SO delicious! This is a perfect party drink!
It completely is! I totally agree.
These cocktails are gorgeous, Jocelyn — that berry rhubarb thing always gets me! This is one punch I wouldn’t be able to say no to! 🙂
Thank you so much hon!
