    What is a Vodka and Fruit Punch?

    A vodka and fruit punch is a bright red sweet and fruity flavored drink that has the bite of vodka as it goes down. This simple two ingredient cocktail can easily be made in a single serving or an entire pitcher.

    Vodka is a clear colored liquor. It is made by fermenting grains such as corn or rye or sometimes even potatoes. It is known to be a rather tasteless liquor that has a strong alcohol bite or burn as it goes down.

    Fruit punch is very simply a combination of any type of fruit juice you want with sugar and water or soda. Store-bought fruit punch typically is combined with water while many homemade recipes call for a carbonated addition such as ginger ale or Sprite.

    No matter what type of fruit or mixer you use to make your fruit punch the resulting drink tends to be extremely sweet and full of fruit flavor.

    Possible variations

    While regular vodka and store-bought fruit punch work perfectly fine for this cocktail there are several other variations you can try if you want to spice it up. Here are just a few options:

    • Make your own fruit punch. Making your own fruit punch allows you to use whatever fruit juices you prefer and you can either make it a sparkling punch or a regular punch.
    • use pineapple vodka – pineapple is one of the key fruit juices used in many fruit punches. So if you want to spike up the pineapple flavor try out a pineapple plant.
    • use strawberry lemonade vodka – what’s a center time more than strawberry lemonade? Add in this delicious flavor that will mix well with your fruit punch.
    • use green apple vodka- Apple is usually one of the key juices used in fruit punch. Dial up the apple flavor with this green apple vodka.

    When to try this drink

    This cocktail fits for almost any occasion with its bright color and sweet flavor. Here are just a few occasions to try it at:

    • large gatherings
    • pool parties
    • barbecues
    • summer or springtime sipping
    • 4th of July celebrations

    Some similar cocktails with fruit punch to try are: Rum and fruit punch, tequila and fruit punch, or whiskey and fruit punch.

    How to make this drink:
