Hello, Five Heart Home friends!
My name is Melanie and I blog all sorts of deliciousness over at Gather for Bread, where I whip up fabulous breads, tasty sips, soups, and plenty of delicious desserts.
When Samantha asked me to guest post in June I knew it had to involve strawberries, sweet, succulent, and in-season. I never want to miss out on fresh strawberries. They're great for sweets, fruit salads, breakfasts, popsicles, and of course, just for snacking on.
And here in Pennsylvania, they're in full bloom in June. So I'm a happy gal.
This Strawberry Punch is simple, delicious, and all-natural. It uses fresh strawberries, sweet pineapple juice, and seltzer water.
How awesome is that? No high fructose corn syrup. All you get here is sweet, wholesome, Strawberry Punch to quench your summertime thirst.

Strawberry Punch
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 4 cups strawberry seltzer water
- Ice
- Mint, for garnish
Instructions
- Hull strawberries. Place in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Slowly pour strawberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve and into a 2-quart pitcher. The puree will be thick, but push it through the sieve with a wooden spoon to get as much as possible into the pitcher. Then pour pineapple juice slowly over the puree remaining in the sieve. Continue to stir and press through as you pour the pineapple juice. Discard all leftover strawberry pulp.
- Pour strawberry seltzer into the pitcher, stirring with the strawberry puree and pineapple juice until well combined.
- Add ice to 6 glasses. Pour punch into glasses. Garnish with mint and fresh strawberries.

I have an upcoming event which I was invited to bring something and was wondering if this also works with some rum or vodka in it to make it a bit more of an "adult" drink?
Samantha Skaggs
Sure! I think either rum or vodka would be great in this. 🙂
Ary
Hello, it would work with juice or some strawberry water and not seltzer? My kids arent to much of a fan but I love it the way it is!❤
Samantha Skaggs
I think you can tweak this recipe any way you like! Just keep in mind that it will turn out a bit sweeter if you substitute juice in place of the seltzer. 🙂
