Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups pineapple juice, chilled

Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and slice the lemon, lime, and orange. Cut fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks.

- Assemble the Punch: Just before serving, pour the chilled juice mixture into a large punch bowl.

- Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the punch into glasses, ensuring each serving gets a mix of fruit and bubbles.
Notes
For the best flavor, always use well-chilled juices and ginger ale to keep the punch vibrant and refreshing. Let the fruit slices soak in the juice mixture for at least 15 minutes before serving—this allows the flavors to blend beautifully. And when adding the ginger ale, pour it slowly along the side of the bowl to preserve the bubbles and keep that delightful fizz!
