Ingredients
For the Blackberry Simple Syrup:
- Blackberries Galore: Two whole quarts of these juicy gems, ready to be simmered down to a sweet, syrupy perfection.
- Aqua: A cool couple cups of water to get things flowinโ.
- Sweetness Overload: Thatโs 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, making sure every berry gets its shine on.
For the Punch:
- Ginger Ale Fizz: Two liters to tickle your nose and add that bubbly charm.
- Limeade Chillin’: Pucker up for two cups of zesty limeade, bringin’ that citrus kick.
- Pineapple Splash: A tropical twist with 14 ounces of pineapple juice.
- Vodka Vibes: Unleash the fun with 3/4 to a whole cup of Smirnoffโgo classic or raspberry razzle-dazzle!
- Sugar Rush: Another 3/4 cup of granulated goodness to sweeten the sippin’.
- Berry Bonanza & Lime Love: Garnish game strong with two quarts of mixed berries and slices of lime for that Insta-worthy finish.
How to Make Berry Punch
For the Blackberry Simple Syrup:
- Combine the blackberries, water and sugar in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a medium simmer. Simmer uncovered for 16-20 minutes until thickened syrup develops.
- Cool syrup then strain the blackberries and pour remaining syrup into punch bowl.
For the Punch:
- Add Ginger ale, limeade, pineapple juice and Smirnoff to bowl and whisk together.
- Next whisk in sugar until completely dissolved.
- Pour in berries and lime slices, if using, for garnish. Allow the mixture to sit for 15-20 minutes then serve.
How to Store
To keep that punch perfection, pour it into an airtight container and stash it in the fridge, where itโll stay fresh and fruity for 3-5 days. If you’ve already added the bubbles and want to save some sparkle for later, make sure to use a container with a tight seal to maintain that fizz. Just give it a gentle stir before serving it up again!

What a great way to celebrate the end of summer! That punch sounds amazing!
What a way to end the summer! Fish Fry, that’s Southern hospitality for ya!! Love it! ๐
I haven’t been to a fish fry since I was a kid, and I loved them so much! This is the perfect accompaniment. Then I can have the best food and the best drink!
A fish fry sounds wonderful! Family gathering around to enjoy yummy fried seafood is a great way to spend a weekend. And this punch looks delightful!
I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve just invited myself over for your next fish fry. ๐ We never had anything like this growing up, and it definitely sounds like I have been missing out!
I love the idea of family with food and a fish fry sounds awesome. Sometimes we’ll do crabs together and that’s always a blast.
This drinks looks like the perfect refresher.
Have a great weekend!
Oh I love that!
