Fruity and fizzy with a little tang, this pitcher stars Mariani Sweetened Berries ’n Cherries for juicy pops in every sip. Cherry and white grape juices keep it lush, and bubbles make it party-ready.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Mariani Sweetened Berries ’n Cherries (70 g)
  • 2 cups cherry juice (480 ml)
  • 1 cup white grape juice (240 ml)
  • 2 cups lemon-lime soda or sparkling water (480 ml)
  • Ice, for serving
  • Orange slices, for garnish, optional
  • 1½ oz berry or cherry liqueur per serving (45 ml), added to the glass, optional

Instructions

  • 1. Add the dried berries & cherries to a pitcher, then stir in the cherry juice and white grape juice. Let soak for 15–20 minutes to plump the fruit and chill the mix.
  • 2. Just before serving, pour in the lemon-lime soda or sparkling water and stir gently.
  • 3. Fill glasses with ice and pour the punch over. Garnish with orange slices. For a boozy version, add the liqueur to each glass before topping with punch.
  • Try this: Add 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (30 ml) if using soda and you prefer a brighter, less sweet finish.
