Here's our formula for a summery celebration punch everyone will love: peak-season fruit, tart citrus juice, and just enough bubbly effervescence to feel like a celebration. Try one or all of our three refreshing combinations. Add a splash of white rum or tequila for an adult batch. Cheers!

Directions

  1. In a pitcher, toss cherries and orange slices with sugar. Stir in orange and cherry juices, cover, and refrigerate, stirring once, at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. When ready to serve, fill pitcher halfway with ice and stir in seltzer.

  2. Serve in glasses over ice; garnish with more cherries and orange slices. (Or pour fruit-juice mixture into glasses over ice and top with seltzer, then garnish with more cherries and orange slices.)

Cook's Notes

We like Ceres brand guava and passion-fruit juices, and Ocean Spray tart-cherry juice, because none of them contain added sugar.

Variations

Strawberry, Lemon, and Guava:

Substitute sliced strawberries for cherries, lemon slices and juice for orange, and guava juice for cherry juice.

Blackberry, Lime, and Passion Fruit:

Substitute blackberries for cherries, lime slices and juice for orange, and passion-fruit juice for cherry juice.
