Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 cups chilled green grape juice
  • 1 cup carbonated water
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (e.g., pectin, agar, or carrageenan)
  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh cucumber slices
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the natural gelling agent mixture: Dissolve the natural gelling agent in warm water according to package instructions. Stir gently to ensure it fully activates and sets the base texture for the punch.
  2. Mix fresh lime juice and green grape juice: In a large punch bowl, combine freshly squeezed lime juice and chilled green grape juice. These two ingredients form the tangy and vibrant heart of the recipe.
  3. Add apple cider vinegar and agave syrup: Stir in the apple cider vinegar and agave syrup to balance sweetness with a touch of acidity, deepening the flavors and creating a harmonious taste.
  4. Incorporate the natural gelling agent mixture and carbonated water: Pour the prepared natural gelling agent into the punch bowl and gently mix. Then, slowly add carbonated water for a lively fizz that enhances the overall experience.
  5. Chill and garnish: Refrigerate the punch for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and texture to develop. Just before serving, add fresh mint leaves and cucumber slices for a refreshing garnish and aroma.

Notes

  • Always use fresh lime juice and mint leaves to maximize brightness and aroma.
  • Keep the punch well chilled to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Add carbonated water slowly to maintain fizz and prevent over-foaming.
  • Taste before serving and adjust sweetness with additional agave syrup if desired.
  • Prepare the gelling agent mixture in advance to ensure proper consistency.
