This vibrant tropical punch mocktail brings summer to your glass any time of year—zippy citrus, ripe pineapple, and a swirl of strawberry syrup make each sip a sweet little escape. When I want something festive but booze-free for a party or family night, this always disappears faster than I can make another batch.

Once I made this for a backyard BBQ and ended up making four more pitchers because everyone—kids and grownups—asked for seconds. It really feels like a vacation in a glass

My favorite touch here is the fresh mint on top There is something about that first whiff when you raise the glass that feels like sitting under a shady palm tree with family laughing around you This recipe brings back memories of long summer afternoons in our backyard with everyone together

Storage Tips

This mocktail is best served right after making since the carbonation fades over time If you want to prep ahead mix the juices and keep chilled then add bubbles and garnish just before serving If you have leftovers refrigerate without the soda and add fresh fizz when you are ready

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap mango juice for pineapple for a mellow taste or raspberry syrup instead of strawberry for a tart edge Lemon juice stands in for lime if needed Any lightly sweetened seltzer can fill in for sprite or club soda Use what you have on hand

Serving Suggestions

Serve in tall glasses with lots of crushed ice to keep it refreshingly cold Try adding a fun straw or colorful cocktail umbrella for the kids For parties make a big pitcher and let guests top off with their own bubbles
