Gently stir with a long-handled spoon until you get an evenly mixed ruby-red color.

Gently bruise a few mint leaves between your hands to release their aromas before dropping them into the pitcher.

Fill tall glasses two-thirds full with very firm ice cubes.

Pour the very cold sparkling water into the pitcher just before serving to keep all the bubbles.

Stir very lightly from the bottom up to distribute the fizz without breaking the effervescence.

Divide the drink among the glasses over the ice and garnish each glass with a fresh mint sprig.

Good to know

Chef's tip

To preserve all the freshness and fizz, add the sparkling water and ice cubes at the very last moment. Also remember to chill the pitcher and the juices in the refrigerator for at least two hours before preparing.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The sparkling water loses its bubbles and the mint turns black.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 2-3 days max in the fridge in an airtight bottle (without sparkling water or ice cubes). Add sparkling water and mint just before serving.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Prepare the juice and grenadine mixture the day before. Add sparkling water, fresh mint and ice cubes just before serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, cold drink.

Variations

Tropical version: replace half of the orange juice with passion fruit juice.
Tangy version: substitute the lemon juice with lime juice for a punchier taste.
Lemonade version: replace the sparkling water with artisanal lemonade for a sweeter, more indulgent drink.

Mistakes to avoid

Pouring in the sparkling water too early, which would completely dissipate the fizz before serving.
Crushing the mint in the liquid instead of just bruising it, which would add an unpleasant bitterness.
Using too few ice cubes, since a lukewarm drink would make the sweetness stand out too much.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this punch ahead of time?

You can mix the fruit juices and the grenadine up to 12 hours ahead, keeping the pitcher covered and chilled. Be sure to add the sparkling water, mint and ice cubes right when serving to preserve the bubbles and flavors.

How can I reduce the sugar content of the drink?

For a less sweet result, slightly increase the proportion of squeezed lemon juice or replace a third of the pineapple juice with the same amount of very cold sparkling water. Also be sure to choose 100% juice with no added sugar.

Which variety of mint works best?

Classic spearmint or Moroccan mint are the best suited, as they bring a clear aromatic freshness without a too-harsh peppery note, pairing perfectly with the sweetness of the grenadine and the flavor of the citrus.

What can I use instead of sparkling water?

If you want something different, replace the sparkling water with tonic water for a pleasantly slight bitterness, or with ginger ale, which adds a delicate spicy warmth on the finish.
