Sparkling Fruit Punch
My kids love mocktails. They love drinking what they call 'fancy' drinks. As water is primarily what they drink, every now and then I love to make these 'cool' drinks for my kids.
However, these are not just for kids, this is for all ages, I loved it to.
This would be a great party drink, people who don't drink alcohol get a lovely, refreshing, pretty drink, and those that do can always add a bit of lemon vodka, watermelon gin, tequillq or bacardi to their glass, see below for measures.
If you can't find the apple and pink grapefruit mineral water I have figured out a way to make my own:
In a jug pour
750ml apple juice
750ml sparkling apple juice and
1 litre Bundaberg Pink Grapefruit Sparkling Drink
I don't add the sugar and water here, it isn't needed
then just continue with the recipe.
If you can't find Bundaberg pink grapefruit drinks, try and find another brand like San Pellegrino, they have grapefruit.
Either way this is such a pretty drink, and has a lovely flavour.
