Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup blackberry juice
- 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
- 2 cups ginger ale
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- 1/2 cup simple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
- 1 cup green grape juice
- Ice cubes
- Orange slices (for garnish)
- Fresh blackberries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Steep dried lavender buds in a small amount of hot water for 5 minutes, then strain and cool the liquid.
- In a large punch bowl, combine blackberry juice and cranberry juice. Stir well to create the purple base. Add the cooled lavender water if using, and adjust sweetness with simple syrup if needed.
- Fill the punch bowl with ice cubes.
- In a separate pitcher, mix green grape juice with a small amount of the purple base to create a lighter green swirl. Pour this slowly over the top of the purple punch to create green tendrils.
- Right before serving, pour in the ginger ale and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with orange slices and fresh blackberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
Add carbonated elements (ginger ale and lemon-lime soda) right before serving to maintain fizz. The non-carbonated base can be made up to 3 days in advance. For a safer alternative to dry ice, use frozen grapes or blackberries as ice cubes. Ensure the punch bowl is stable before adding heavy ice and liquids.
