Fruity Vodka Party Punch is the perfect cocktail recipe for a party! This drink is full of lemonade and fruit punch, rum, and vodka and is the perfect easy punch recipe.

There’s just something about a red fruit punch drink that makes me think tropical or fun…and it makes every party just that much better.

I don’t know about you guys but when there is a party I always head for the punch. There’s something almost wistful about a bright red fun and fruity punch recipe, isn’t there? I just love all the flavors. When I was a kid I used to equate fruit punch with actual fruit, and I got plenty of servings every day. Somehow I don’t think fruit punch is what the surgeon general was thinking when he said we should eat 4 fruits a day, but I did it anyway.

As an adult I like my punch with a little kick, if you get my drift. It’s even better if the punch tastes like fruit and sweetness and not like vodka…although that’s not always better. It feels better in the moment but most certainly not the next day!

Are you doing anything for the Super Bowl this weekend? I will be hoping a few of my friends come over and help me hide in the living room. Mel will be in the family room where no one will be allowed to move or talk. He *might* let us in there for halftime, but no promises.

Even if you’re not celebrating the last football game of the season, this Fruity Vodka Party Punch is the perfect cocktail punch recipe for any party. I can see serving this at baby and bridal showers, the 4th of July, and any spring or summer gather where you want a drink recipe that will serve a lot of people.

This recipe is an easy party in your glass, made with vodka and rum. I used fruit punch and lemonade as the juice and club soda, to give it fizz. You could also make this punch with Sprite or Diet 7Up if you want, or even Ginger Ale. I love doing it with club soda because then there is no added sweetness. (La Croix is a good substitute, like I did in my Strawberry Lime Punch recipe.) As I get older I don’t like super sweet drinks as much, so I tend to add sparkling water instead of sugary or diet soda.

Adding fruit to the pitcher is a nice touch for garnish, although if you’re serving this in a punchbowl you could definitely add sherbet for a traditional punch recipe.

How To Make This Fruity Vodka Alcoholic Drink

  • You’ll notice that my recipe only calls for using half of each the fruit punch concentrate and lemonade concentrate. That’s because my pitcher isn’t big enough to do a full batch, which would serve a LOT of people. However, you can make a larger batch by just doubling the recipe, easily.
  • OR, use the other half the concentrates to make a non-alcoholic version of this party punch. Just add Sprite and club soda in place of the vodka and rum.
  • Tip to keep your drinks cold: use frozen fruit instead of fresh. It acts like ice!
  • Making vodka fruit punch like this is actually cheaper than buying big cartons of lemonade and fruit punch, but you can do that as well. I’ve made a note in the recipe, but add 4 cups each lemonade and fruit punch, then add the alcohol and top off with club soda as desired.

See? Cocktail and punch recipes are SO easy to make and modify to your liking! Just drink it slow…with a lot of party food!

FAQ

How do you keep your punch fizzy?

Don’t burst the bubbles. Sparkling punches begin to lose their fizz after about 2 hours, so don’t add the sparkling ingredients until right before serving. If you won’t run through all the punch in that time, just serve half of it topped with half the bubbly stuff.

How much punch do you need per person for a party?

The general rule is to provide one gallon of punch for every 10 guests. A conservative estimate assumes each guest will drink about three four-ounce servings. If you’re providing other beverages, reduce the amount of punch you make.
