How to Make Tropical Fruit Punch Recipe
To whip up this punch, start with a homemade simple syrup by dissolving sugar in warm water—this creates the sweet base for your fruit medley. Once the syrup is cooled, mix it with tangy orange and pineapple juices. Toss in a colorful array of fruits, from crushed pineapple to juicy cherries and creamy banana or exotic papaw. Chill everything thoroughly, then serve it in a punch bowl over a large block of ice for that party-ready finish.
