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: Thatโ€™s 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 Smirnoffโ€”go 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 itโ€™ll 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!
