Ingredients

1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 4-5 oranges)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 3 limes)

1/3 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)

4 cups sparkling water or club soda, chilled

1 cup citrus slices (oranges, lemons, limes) for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Prepare Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1/3 cup each) over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool before using.

Juicing Fruits: Squeeze the juice from the oranges, lemons, and limes into a large pitcher. Strain the juice if desired to remove pulp and seeds.

Mix Juices and Syrup: Add the simple syrup to the mixed citrus juice. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if desired.

Combine with Sparkling Water: Just before serving, pour in the chilled sparkling water or club soda to the citrus juice mixture and stir gently to combine, preserving the fizz.

Garnish: Add ice cubes to serving glasses. Pour the sparkling citrus punch over the ice, and garnish with citrus slices and fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

Serve: Enjoy immediately for the best fizz and flavor!
