I am ready for summer! This recipe just puts me in the summer mood. Come-on sunshine! Pineapple juice, limeade and club soda make a refreshing drink that goes beautifully with all kinds of summer fruit. And with strawberries in season right now, they make a perfect match.

    Made this today for a baby shower. It was wonderful! I did a 12 oz can of limeade instead of 6oz and skipped the cold water since I knew the ice cubes would melt. In addition to the fruit listed above, we used fresh blackberries, blueberries and pineapple slices. It was a hit! :)

    Made these with vodka for my book club... what a hit! The discussion was focused more on this drink than it was on the book!

    So excited to try this! Instead of juice concentrate, I am going to substitute fresh fruit & hand squeezed fruit juice! Maybe add local honey as a natural sweetener if needed so its a healthyaide:)

    To Tammy, That's Exactly what I was thinking! A nice bottle of White Wine! LOL, I think a Pinot Grigio would pair up quite nicely! Im going to make this @ our family BBQ's, for the Adults, & Reg. for the Kiddo's. I am wodering about the adding the Water Tho, in the Wine Recipe? Would it make it too Watered down? Any Suggestion's? I may have to experiment w/ it 1st, !?? But , I still have almost 2 months, for the weather to be nice enough , So if anyone has tried this, let me know what you think! Thankyou!! ;o). P.s. I Can't Wait to try this!!! I know everyone will Love it!!<3

    That's kinda what I was thinking...leave out the water and adding a good Mascato. Or maybe even leaving out the club soda and water and adding a good champagne... I am having a girl's night this weekend and I really want to try it but I'm scared it won't be any good!

    To the folks worrying about different mixtures being good, don't be afraid to try! Just mix your ingredients in small amounts to find a good ratio then scale up! Also helps to add water/ice last because that obviously can make the flavours weak. Also remember to add fizzy drinks at the end to avoid them going flat.
    My mom always used to make a similar drink for every birthday party and kids couldn't ever get enough: can of pineapple juice, carton of orange juice, enough Sprite/7-UP to give it mild fizz (think Orangina), and a whole tub of vanilla ice cream which you ball up and float at the top of the punch bowl. As an adult this stuff is still just as amazing!!

    I was wondering what the bright pink petal looking things are? Are they flower petals of some kind ? I looked thru list of ingredients and couldnt find anything that was bright pink and flat looking like the picture shows? If they are flowers I would love to know what kind to use.

    Ditto @ Renee's question... definitely looks like flower petals. A very pretty addition whatever it is.
