How to Make Pineapple Fruit Punch

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 4–6 glasses

Ingredients

• • 2 cups pineapple juice (chilled)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 2 tablespoons organic honey or agave nectar 
  • 2 cups cubed ice (or more)

Optional: Fresh pineapple chunks, lemon/lime slices, or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Juice the citrus.

Using the manual juice press, extract juice from the lemons and limes until you get 1/2 cup of lime juice and 1/2 cup of lemon juice. The ergonomic design helps you get every last drop with no seeds!

Step 2: Combine the liquids.

In a large mixing pitcher, mix the pineapple juice, coconut water, fresh lemon juice, and fresh lime juice.

Step 3: Add sweetener.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of organic honey or agave nectar. If your honey is too thick, you can warm it slightly in a nonstick saucepan for easier mixing.

Step 4: Chill and serve.

Add ice cubes to the punch, then give it a good stir with a long cocktail spoon to combine everything evenly. Then, pour into glasses, garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, citrus slices, or mint, and serve immediately for a refreshing and vibrant drink.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Recipe

Can I make Pineapple Fruit Punch ahead of time?

Yes. You can mix the juices and sweetener up to 24 hours in advance and store them in the fridge. Just add the ice and any carbonated additions (like sparkling water) right before serving so it doesn’t get diluted. If you're prepping for a party, this is a great way to save time and still serve a fresh, delicious drink.

What’s the best sweetener to use for this fruit punch?

Organic honey and agave nectar are great natural choices that blend well without overpowering the tropical flavors. You can also use maple syrup or stevia if you're looking to keep things low glycemic or vegan.

Can I make this punch sugar-free?

Absolutely. If you're cutting out sugar entirely, just skip the honey/agave and let the natural sweetness of the pineapple juice shine.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Yes. The base version is completely alcohol-free and full of real fruit juices, making it a healthy and tasty treat for kids. To make it more fun, serve it in colorful cups with fruit garnishes or fancy paper straws. 

How do I turn this into a cocktail for adults?

You can add 1 to 2 ounces of white rum, vodka, or even tequila per serving to create a tropical adult beverage. If you're serving a crowd, spike the punch bowl with 1 cup of liquor and give it a gentle stir.

Can I use bottled lemon and lime juice instead of fresh?

While bottled juice will work in a pinch, using freshly squeezed juice offers more flavor. The lemon squeezer makes it super easy to juice citrus quickly and efficiently, so it’s worth the extra minute for fresher results.

What other fruits can I add to this punch?

This recipe is super flexible. Try adding sliced strawberries, orange segments, kiwi, mango chunks, or even watermelon cubes.
