The Ingredients
- Orange Juice: I used freshly squeezed orange juice, but you can swap it for orange juice.
- Lemon Juice: It enhances and complements the flavors and taste of the oranges.
- Ginger: This ingredient provides a new tropical flavor to our orange punch. I highly recommend using it.
- Sugar: An optional ingredient. You can swap it with honey or natural sugars like agave nectar.
- Sparkling water: Plain, nonflavored sparkling water or club soda.
How To Make Orange Punch
- Extract the Orange Juice: Use a citrus extractor or juicer to extract the orange juice. If you're using fresh orange juice, you can skip this step.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, grated ginger, sugar, and water.
- Stir, Chill, and Serve: Stir the mixture well. Serve the punch over ice cubes and garnish with lemon slices.
Top Tip
Use ice cubes made from fruit juice to keep your punch cool longer without diluting it. You can also freeze fruit pieces in them for added flavor as they melt.
The Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Adjust sugar according to the tangy taste of oranges. I prefer not to add artificial sugar to any fresh fruit juices.
- Remove lemon juice from the ingredient list if oranges taste sour.
- Add a pinch of salt for enhanced flavors.
Leftovers & Reheating
I have never had a chance to store the leftovers. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze it for up to two months.
You can also store them in ice cube trays and add them as ice cubes to other punch recipes.
Substitutions
- You can also use lime juice instead of lemon juice if you prefer your punch to have a sharp taste.
- You can substitute sugar with sugar syrup to minimize the prepping time.
- Running out of time for the party? Replace fresh orange juice with orange sherbet.
Variations
- If you are serving for the party, freeze orange juice in ice cube trays and stir it with the punch in the pitcher. I'm sure your guests are going to love this.
- Add lemon zest for a more lemony flavor.
- Stir in pineapple and mango juice for tropical flavors.
- You may also add fresh-cut fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
FAQs
Adjusting the amount of sweetness depends on your taste preferences. You can skip sugar or substitute it with other natural sweeteners.
Yes, absolutely. You can prepare this punch a day in advance. Combine all the juices and refrigerate, then add the carbonated drink just before serving for the fizz and the freshness.
It has all the fresh flavors and sweetness of oranges with a hint of ginger and lime. You can feel the tropical flavors and taste in the orange punch.

Judy says
I modified the recipe quite a bit - ditched the water, used 500 ml of fresh orange juice, a full can of coconut milk, only 2 tlbsps of sugar versus 1/2 cup, added 1/2 pint Vanilla ice cream instead of cream of coconut, and added flavorings 1/2 Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Allspice, and 1/4 cup Frangelico liquor. Turned out fabulous. Thanks for the basic recipe.
