How to Make Banana Brunch Punch
- Blend 6 ripe bananas, 4 cups orange juice, and 4 cups lemonade until completely smooth.
- Divide the mixture in half. Set aside one half (this will be used to make the frozen base).
- To the remaining half in the blender, add 3 cups warm water and 2 cups granulated sugar.
- Blend until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour into a large freezer-safe container.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the reserved banana mixture.
- Add this second batch to the freezer-safe container.
- Cover the container tightly and freeze until solid (at least 6 hours or overnight).
- One hour before serving, remove the frozen punch base from the freezer to thaw.
- Just before serving, pour the thawed punch base into a large punch bowl.
- Add 2 liters (about 8.5 cups) pineapple juice and 2 liters (about 8.5 cups) chilled club soda or lemon-lime soda.
- Gently stir until well combined.
- Garnish with orange slices (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
