Ingredients

2 cups blackberry juice (chilled)
1 cup pomegranate juice (chilled)
1/2 cup grape juice (chilled)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic)
1 cup sparkling water or lemon-lime soda (chilled)
Edible silver glitter (optional)
Ice cubes
Garnishes: fresh blackberries, mint leaves, glowing LED ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine blackberry juice, pomegranate juice, grape juice, lemon juice, and blue curaçao syrup. Stir well to mix evenly and achieve the signature frosty hue.
Step 2: Sprinkle a small amount of edible silver glitter into the mixture and stir gently to distribute the shimmer evenly.
Step 3: Chill the mixture until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the punch to stay cold.
Step 4: Just before serving, gently add sparkling water or lemon-lime soda to preserve the fizz and give a bubbly finish.
Step 5: Pour the punch over ice-filled glasses and garnish each serving with fresh blackberries and a sprig of mint. For extra festive flair, add glowing LED ice cubes if desired.

Tips & Variations

Use lemon-lime soda for a sweeter punch or sparkling water for a lighter, less sweet option.
Substitute blue curaçao syrup with blue food coloring and simple syrup if you can’t find the syrup.
For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or white rum.
Chill all juices beforehand to keep the punch cold without watering it down too quickly.

Storage

Store any leftover punch mixture (without sparkling water) in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add sparkling water just before serving again to keep the fizz fresh. Garnishes are best added fresh each time.

How to Serve

A short clear glass with a textured bottom holds a dark red purple drink filling most of the glass, with a foamy layer on top. The drink is garnished with a cluster of blackberries and a sprig of fresh green mint leaves resting on the foam. The glass sits on a white marbled surface, softly lit to highlight the rich color and texture of the drink. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this punch ahead of time?

Yes, prepare the juice mixture without the sparkling water a few hours ahead and keep it chilled. Add the sparkling water right before serving to retain the carbonation.
