Ingredients

For the Blackberry Simple Syrup:

2 quarts blackberries
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

For the Punch:

2 liters ginger ale
2 cups limeade
14 ounces pineapple juice
3/4 - 1 cup Smirnoff Vodka or Smirnoff Raspberry
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 quarts mixed berries and lime slices if desired for garnish

Instructions

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.

Notes

To keep that punch perfection, pour it into an airtight container and stash it in the fridge, where it’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!
