Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup orange segments
  • Thin slices of fresh fruit (for ice hand mold)
  • Mint leaves (fresh, for punch and ice hand mold)

Base Liquids and Flavorings

  • 4 cups natural grape juice
  • 2 tablespoons natural apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups sparkling water

Natural Gelling Agent

  • Pinch of natural gelling agent (for ice hand mold and punch base)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ice Hand Mold: Fill a hand-shaped silicone mold halfway with water infused with thin slices of fresh fruit and mint leaves. Sprinkle a pinch of natural gelling agent evenly to create frozen fruit pockets that will slowly melt, infusing flavor when served.
  2. Chill the Ice Hand: Place the mold in the freezer for at least 6 hours or until completely solid. This ice hand will float dramatically and chill your punch while adding a burst of fruity flavor as it melts.
  3. Mix the Fruit Punch Base: In a large punch bowl, combine natural grape juice, natural apple cider vinegar, sparkling water, and a dash of natural gelling agent to give the punch body and a lightly gelatinous texture that’s cooling and refreshing.
  4. Add Fresh Fruits: Gently stir in the pineapple chunks, sliced strawberries, and orange segments, distributing them evenly so every scoop is colorful and tasty.
  5. Serve with the Ice Hand: Carefully remove the ice hand from the mold and place it in the center of your punch bowl just before serving, letting it float and slowly release fruity notes as it melts, creating a spectacular centerpiece and conversation starter.

Notes

  • Chill glasses before serving to keep punch colder longer.
  • Cut fruit into uniform pieces for even distribution and pleasant mouthfeel.
  • Follow natural gelling agent instructions carefully to avoid clumping and ensure smooth texture.
  • Use different molds like stars or hearts to match the occasion or theme for the ice hand.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding a touch of natural maple syrup (natural) if desired.
