Print Recipe

A simple, refreshing lemonade punch with a perfect balance of tart lemons, natural sweetness, fresh herbs, and bubbly fizz, ideal for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh lemons, juiced (about 1 cup lemon juice)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g), adjust to taste
  • 4 cups water (for dissolving sugar and diluting lemon juice)
  • 4 cups sparkling water
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Lemon slices for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Make the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 cup water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Juice the Lemons: While the syrup cools, juice 6 medium lemons to yield about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain out seeds and pulp if desired.
  3. Combine Syrup, Lemon Juice, and Water: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, mix the cooled simple syrup with the lemon juice and 3 cups cold water. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add Sparkling Water and Mint: Just before serving, gently stir in 4 cups of sparkling water to keep the fizz intact. Toss in a handful of fresh mint leaves for aroma and flavor.
  5. Garnish and Chill: Add plenty of ice cubes and lemon slices for garnish. Serve immediately or keep chilled in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Add sparkling water just before serving to keep the fizz. Use large ice cubes to prevent quick dilution. Muddle mint leaves gently to release aroma without bitterness. The punch base can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated; add sparkling water and ice just before serving.
