Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this punch brings together the best of fruity and creamy flavors. It’s not too sweet, and the creaminess makes it feel a bit more indulgent than your typical punch. I find it perfect for both kids and adults, especially when I want to serve something festive that doesn’t involve alcohol. It’s incredibly easy to whip up in just a few minutes, and the beautiful pink color always gets compliments.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

strawberry puree
apple juice
sweetened condensed milk
soda water or lemon-lime soda
ice cubes
fresh strawberries and apple slices for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. I start by preparing the strawberry puree, either blending fresh strawberries or using a store-bought version.

2. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, I mix together the strawberry puree and apple juice.

3. I stir in the sweetened condensed milk until everything is fully combined and creamy.

4. Just before serving, I pour in the soda water or lemon-lime soda to give it a fizzy lift.

5. I add plenty of ice and garnish with fresh strawberry slices and apple wedges for a decorative touch.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 8 servings and takes just 10 minutes to prepare. It’s ideal for get-togethers, potlucks, or any time I need a quick, refreshing beverage.

Variations

When I want to change things up, I use different fruit juices like white grape or pear juice instead of apple. I also sometimes swap the condensed milk with coconut milk for a tropical flair. For a lighter version, I use plain sparkling water and reduce the sweetened milk. And when serving adults, I occasionally add a splash of vodka or rum.

storage/reheating

Since this punch includes soda, I always make it fresh right before serving to keep the fizz. However, if I have leftovers, I store them in a covered pitcher in the fridge for up to a day. I avoid storing it too long because the soda goes flat, and the creaminess can separate. I give it a good stir before pouring again.

FAQs

How do I make strawberry puree?

I blend fresh, hulled strawberries until smooth. If I want it extra smooth, I strain it to remove seeds.

Can I make this punch ahead of time?

I can mix the strawberry puree, apple juice, and condensed milk ahead of time and refrigerate. I add the soda just before serving.

What can I use instead of sweetened condensed milk?

I’ve used coconut milk or even almond milk with a bit of honey when I want a dairy-free version.

Is this drink suitable for kids?

Yes, this is completely non-alcoholic and perfect for kids’ parties. It’s sweet, fun, and colorful.

Can I freeze leftovers?

I don’t recommend freezing this punch because the texture changes once it thaws. It’s best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion

Creamy Strawberry Apple Punch is a vibrant and delightful drink that’s always a crowd-pleaser. I love how easy it is to make, and how I can customize it depending on the occasion or who I’m serving. Whether it’s for a special event or just a refreshing treat at home, this punch never disappoints.
