Ingredients
- 4 cups blue raspberry drink mix or soda (chilled)
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda (chilled)
- 1/4 cup vanilla syrup or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1-2 drops blue food coloring (optional, for enhanced vibrancy)
- Ice cubes or ice chunks (for serving)
- Fresh mint or lime wedges (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the chilled blue raspberry drink mix (or soda) with the lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to mix the two sodas together. The blue raspberry flavor will provide a sweet, fruity base for the punch, while the lemon-lime soda adds a fizzy, refreshing kick.
- Next, add the vanilla syrup or vanilla extract to the mixture. The vanilla will add a subtle sweetness that enhances the overall flavor, giving the punch a smooth, rich undertone.
- Stir in the fresh lime juice. The lime juice adds a zesty, citrusy flavor that brightens up the sweetness of the raspberry and vanilla, balancing out the overall taste of the punch. It will also give it that perfect holiday punch flavor!
- If you’d like to enhance the color and make the punch more visually striking, add 1-2 drops of blue food coloring. This step is optional but will make your punch glow with a vibrant blue hue, adding a festive touch to your table.
