Sparkling Grapefruit Party Punch – Mother’s Day Brunch Idea

Sparkling grapefruit juice is the key to making this easy party punch recipe. Mix up something special for your Mother’s Day with a sparkling grapefruit party punch. It’s a light, refreshing and non-alcoholic drink. The perfect Mother’s Day brunch idea, or really, for any occasion!

Entertaining is one of my favorite things to do.  My absolute favorite thing to make when entertaining is to make one of my easy party punch recipes.  They are so simple, but can add so much to a shower, party, brunch or just when company unexpectedly shows up.

Here in AZ, we have a ton of citrus this time of year.  I ended up with a bunch of ruby red grapefruit and thought it would make a great brunch punch for a baby shower I was helping my cousin put on.  It turned out so great for the shower that I thought it would make a great brunch punch for Mother’s Day. It’s the perfect amount of tart and sweet.

I’ve heard that a paloma is a cocktail that has grapefruit in it, but this is a non-alcoholic version.  Of course you could always add in some sparkling wine instead of ginger ale to make it more of a cocktail than a mocktail. We are all about the mocktails over here.

Sparkling Grapefruit Party Punch Recipe Tip:

Adding pink sugared rims on the glassware is a fun touch and are really tasty with this grapefruit party punch. That would be a fun surprise for mom. Just pour some sugar onto a plate and spread it out evenly. Wet the rim of your glass with water, then press into a plate of sugar. I used a combination of plain white sugar and some pink sugar crystals. Delicious and refreshing.
