Recipe variations
- Low-sugar: For a lower-sugar option, omit the added granulated sugar. It’s still pretty sweet, especially with the addition of ripe bananas!
- Fruit juice: Swap out the fruit juices listed in this recipe for grapefruit, cranberry, guava, mango, limeade, pomegranate, or any of your favorite varieties.
- Boozy: For a grown-up fruit punch, add a splash of rum or vodka while mixing it. You can also add this on an individual basis.
Tips and tricks
- Use ripe bananas: For the best flavor and consistency, the bananas need to be fairly spotty. If they’re still green, the resulting taste won’t pop like we want it to.
- Stir the fruit punch well: In order to disperse the flavors evenly, don’t forget to thoroughly mix it up boos. This is especially important with mashed bananas.
- Use a large bowl: Whatever container or pitcher you’re planning on using, just make sure it’s large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
- Add the soda and ice last: Prevent a diluted and flat fruit punch by mixing in the ice and Sprite or 7Up just before serving. You can also add ice to individual glasses.
What to do with leftover fruit punch
Whether you’re prepping the fruit punch ahead of time or have leftovers, follow these storage guidelines:
- Fridge: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. If possible, store the fruit punch base separately from the ice and lemon-lime soda.
- Freezer: You can freeze fruit punch for up to 1 month. Just make sure to thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and stir it thoroughly before serving it again.
