Ingredients
Fresca sparkling soda water: We like to use the grapefruit citrus flavor in this punch but feel free to use any flavor you want!
Pink cranberry juice: Gives the punch its rosy color and fruity flavor. We like Ocean Spray, but any brand works—just make sure it’s pink cranberry juice, or the punch will turn out much darker.
Pink lemonade frozen concentrate: Needed for the punch’s signature pink color, so don’t swap it for regular lemonade. (Powdered pink lemonade mix may work here, but it hasn’t been tested.)
A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Recipe Variations
Try a different cranberry juice. Pink cranberry juice gives the punch its pretty pink color, but you can change up the flavor with white cranberry, classic cranberry, white cran-strawberry, cranberry pineapple, or cranberry apple peach.
Swap out the Fresca. If you want to mix things up, try Ginger ale, Sprite, 7Up, or LaCroix.
Make it a cocktail. Add a splash of vodka, white rum, or champagne for a spiked version.
Turn it into a slushy. Blend the punch with ice for a slushy version that’s super refreshing. It’s perfect for warm days or just for fun!
How To Make Non-Alcoholic Pink Punch
Step 1: Add the pink lemonade frozen concentrate to a large pitcher or punch bowl. (Make sure it can hold at least 3 quarts.)
Step 2: Pour in the pink cranberry juice and stir until the frozen concentrate is fully mixed in.
Step 3: Add in the Fresca and stir gently until everything is combined.
Step 4: Garnish with lemon slices and cranberries for a fun pop of color (optional). Serve right away!
✏️ Make-Ahead Tip: Combine the pink lemonade concentrate and cranberry juice ahead of time and chill. Stir in the Fresca right before serving so the punch stays nice and fizzy!
Expert Tips
Use the frozen concentrate as-is. The pink lemonade concentrate goes in frozen. Don’t mix it with water first, or the punch will be too diluted.
Chill the juice and soda. Cold punch is always better! Refrigerate the cranberry juice and soda ahead of time so the punch stays cold without needing too much ice.
Don’t skip the garnishes. Lemon slices, cranberries, or edible flowers add a nice finishing touch to this non-alcoholic pink punch. Want to go all out? Rim the glasses with pink sugar and add some cute straws!
Presentation makes all the difference. Serve this punch in a clear pitcher, a classic punch bowl, or a drink dispenser to show off its pretty pink color.

Non-Alcoholic Pink Punch FAQ’s
Juice ice cubes: Freeze pink cranberry juice in ice cube trays. They’ll keep your punch chilled without watering it down.
Ice ring or block: Instead of regular ice cubes, freeze a large block of punch in a bundt pan or a large container. It melts slower, so your punch stays cold longer.
Chill everything first: Refrigerate all the punch ingredients ahead of time, and use a chilled punch bowl or drink dispenser to help keep everything nice and cool.
Yes! Sherbet or ice cream makes the punch extra creamy and adds a little more sweetness. For the best results, add it right before serving. You can also scoop some into individual glasses and pour the punch over it instead of mixing it into the whole bowl.
It’s best to add it while it’s still frozen since it helps keep the punch colder, but if it’s already thawed, that’s totally fine—it will still work just as well! You may just want to add some extra ice to keep the punch chilled.

Ann says
Do you mix the frozen concentrate per container or just use out of the can with the 5 cups Fresca and 4 cups cranberry
Mallory Morgan & Marissa Hercules says
Just mix the frozen concentrate with the cranberry juice and Fresca. (:
Ann says
If you can’t find frozen pink lemonade concentrate can you use powdered country time pink lemonade powder
Mallory Morgan & Marissa Hercules says
Hi Ann!
Powdered pink lemonade should work here. Just keep in mind that the powder is less concentrated than the frozen concentrate so add it gradually and adjust to taste.
