Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup mango chunks
- 1 cup pineapple pieces
- 1 cup orange slices
Liquids and Flavorings
- 4 cups natural grape juice
- 2 tablespoons natural apple cider vinegar
Other Ingredients
- 1 packet natural gelling agent (such as pectin or agar), quantity as per package instructions
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Hand Mold: Mix water with the natural gelling agent according to the package instructions. Pour the mixture into a clean hand-shaped mold and place it in the freezer until fully set and firm enough to float in the punch bowl.
- Chop and Prepare the Fruits: While the ice hand is freezing, wash and cut the strawberries, mango, pineapple, and orange slices into bite-sized pieces to ensure vibrant color and flavor in every spoonful.
- Mix the Punch Base: In a large bowl or punch dispenser, combine the natural grape juice and natural apple cider vinegar with the chopped fruits. Stir gently to blend the flavors without mashing the fruit.
- Add the Ice Hand and Mint Leaves: Once the ice hand is fully frozen, carefully remove it from the mold and place it gently into the punch bowl. Scatter fresh mint leaves on top to add aroma and freshness.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the punch for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the ice hand to keep the punch cool throughout your event.
Notes
- Cut fruits uniformly to make scooping easier and to maintain balanced flavors in every serving.
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for natural sweetness and vibrant color.
- Freeze the ice hand mold overnight to save preparation time on party day.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the punch cooler longer.
- Add apple cider vinegar slowly and taste as you go to maintain a pleasant balance of tartness and sweetness.
