Instructions

Mix Juices: In a large punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice, pink lemonade, and orange juice. Stir well to blend all flavors evenly.

Add Carbonation: Just before serving, slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda and ginger ale to keep the punch bubbly and refreshing.

Serve: Ladle the punch into individual glasses and garnish each with a maraschino cherry for a classic finishing touch.

Notes

For a pastel Easter look, consider adding colorful fruits such as sliced oranges, raspberries, or pineapple chunks for added visual appeal and flavor.
If preparing ahead of time, mix the juices first and hold off on adding the soda and ice cream until just before serving to maintain the punch’s fizz and creamy texture.
