Ingredients
- 4 cups tequila (preferably blanco or reposado)
- 1 cup triple sec (or any quality orange liqueur)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 cups sweet & sour mix (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups passion fruit juice (unsweetened for best balance)
- 1 to 2 cups orange juice (adjust for sweetness)
- 1 cup fresh orange slices
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 to 3 limes, sliced into rounds
- Ice for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
Wash and slice your fresh fruit. Cut oranges into half-moons, hull and halve the strawberries, and slice the limes into thin rounds. These will infuse the punch with fresh citrus notes and make each glass look extra festive.
Step 2: Choose Your Container
Use a clean gallon-sized container, large pitcher, or punch bowl. This recipe is designed for volume, so make sure the container is large enough to hold all the ingredients with room for stirring.
Step 3: Add the Fruit
Place the sliced oranges, strawberries, and lime rounds into the bottom of your container. The fruit will act as a natural garnish and release flavor as it sits in the mixture.
Step 4: Combine the Liquids
Pour in the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, sweet & sour mix, passion fruit juice, and orange juice. If you’re unsure about the sweetness level, start with 1 cup of orange juice and taste before adding more.
Step 5: Stir and Chill
Stir everything thoroughly to combine. Cover and refrigerate the punch for at least 1–2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to infuse the liquid. Serve over ice and enjoy chilled.
Notes
- You can make the punch up to 24 hours ahead. Just hold off on adding the ice until you’re ready to serve to avoid dilution.
- Homemade sweet & sour mix can elevate the flavor. Simply mix 1 part lemon juice, 1 part lime juice, and 1 part simple syrup.
