Strawberry Pink Lemonade Punch Recipe

1

Ingredients

8 c water
1 (12 oz) jar strawberry syrup
1 (12 oz) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
3/4 c pink-lemonade-flavored drink mix
1 (2 liter) bottle cold lemon-lime-flavored carbonated beverage
1 qt strawberries, frozen
Garnish: fresh strawberries

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pitcher, combine water, syrup, lemonade concentrate, and drink mix, whisking to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Just before serving, pour lemonade mixture into a large punch bowl.

Add carbonated beverage and frozen strawberries; stir well.

Garnish glasses with fresh strawberries, if desired.

**Note: The punch can be made one day ahead and chilled in the refrigerator. Do not add the lemon-lime carbonated beverage or frozen strawberries until party time. The carbonated beverage will make the punch fizzy and frothy, and the strawberries with keep the punch cold.
