Recipe Introduction


Festive doesn't even begin to describe this party pleaser packed with very-berry flavor. This one is a great summer sipper ‑- with a kick! Mix up a batch for the after-beach cool down, and wait your turn in the shade for the outdoor shower.





List of Ingredients



• Punch bowl and glasses
  
• Ice forms made with lime slices and raspberries
  
• 1 1/2 cups Raspberry Puree or 1/2 cup raspberry syrup
  
• 4 cups pineapple juice
  
• 2 cups vodka
  
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  
• 3 cups chilled orange-flavored sparkling water
  
• Lime slices and raspberries for garnish (optional)
  






Instructions



1. At least 3 hours ahead, make the ice forms.
   
2. To make the Raspberry Puree, process 4 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries to a smooth puree in a blender. Strain the puree into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, pushing on the mixture with the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the juice.
   
3. Combine the puree, pineapple juice, vodka and lime juice in the punch bowl and mix well. Just before serving, slowly pour in the sparkling water. Place the ice form in the punch. Garnish with the lime slices and raspberries, if desired.
