Sparkling Strawberry Punch (+Video)
Sparkling Strawberry Punch is a delicious non-alcoholic punch drink recipe. Whips up in minutes and perfect for a party!
AN EASY STRAWBERRY PUNCH RECIPE
I really wanted a good punch to be able to take to potlucks or baby showers and I wanted one that didn’t involve sherbet. Or just to have when we cookout. I have a a lot of sherbet punch recipes that I love but it was time for a little change. So it was back to the drawing board and this recipe for Sparkling Strawberry Punch was created. This is sure to be a hit with adults and kids!
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS NON-ALCOHOLIC PUNCH:
- If you can’t find the strawberry sparkling water, just substitute with more 7-Up. You can usually find bottles of flavored sparkling water where the other bottles of water are kept in your grocery store.
- Strawberry daiquiri concentrate is non-alcoholic. You can certainly add a bit of Rum to this if you want to make it more grown-up. If you can’t find strawberry daiquiri concentrate, try a limeade concentrate.
- If you are serving a large party or group, I definitely suggest doubling this recipe.
- Be sure to taste test after stirring, you may need to add a bit of sugar to the mix (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup.)
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- frozen strawberry daiquiri concentrate
- strawberry Kool-Aid
- 7-Up lemon-lime soda
- strawberry sparkling water
- frozen sliced strawberries
HOW TO MAKE SPARKLING STRAWBERRY PUNCH:
Before party, in a small pitcher or bowl, mix together strawberry daiquiri concentrate and Kool-Aid until thoroughly combined. Pop mixture into fridge until ready for party. Also, put 7Up and strawberry sparkling water in fridge to keep cool.
When ready to prepare punch, pour concentrate mixture into punch bowl or server, pour in 7Up and sparkling water slowly so the bubbles don’t fizz out of control.
Stir slowly to combine. Add frozen strawberries on top to keep mixture cool and to make it look pretty.
Serve punch in glasses with ice or drop a few of the frozen berries in there to keep it cool. Makes 1 gallon.

Hey Jenni! Great question! But it's kinda one I don't have an answer to. It really is a matter of taste/strength. How strong do you want it to be or do you want it as a background flavor. So I would suggest adding a little at a time then tasting a bit after each addition til you get it exactly how you want it. Sorry I'm not more helpful here!
I'm going to be making this for a bridal shower, then turning it into the "adult" version later on for the bachelorette party… How much rum would you add to one batch of punch?
Made your Punch for my Professor's 50th birthday. My fellow labmates and my professor absolutely loved it. Mixed the drink in lab… so easy. took me a total of 2 mins! Thank you!
Shari – thank you for coming back & letting me know how it turned out for you. I'm so happy to hear everyone enjoyed it! Thank you!
I made this for my sister's baby shower this weekend and received rave reviews! Everyone agreed that the sugar wasn't necessary. Now we can't wait to make a mommy version as well! 😉
Thanks for such a great recipe!
I often go "back to the drawing board" to change up a recipe that didn't go quite the way I wanted it to the first time! Your punch sounds delicious and refreshing! 🙂
Yummy! I LOVE strawberries! Definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing!!
Ewww. I don't think I would have liked the stuff with the grapefruit juice. I'm glad you were able to fix this recipe. It sounds awesome!
This looks so pretty, and sounds amazing! I want to come to one of your parties!
In my opinion this sounds perfect, and very pretty!
Mmm I just LOVE sparkling punch and this recipe looks so refreshingly good! Great pictures as well, perfect for summer 🙂
Awww!! We all have those recipes that just don't pan out the first time, and like you those never make it to my blog. Like the overly salty chicken noodle soup that about killed my hubby last year… HAHA! But this recipe sounds fantastic! I never thought about adding flavored sparkling water to punch recipes, but that is a fantastic idea! Love it!
It's what makes you a great cook. If we didn't bomb on certain things, we'd never learn! I love the look of this strawberry punch (love also your presentation, Brandie) and mixed with ginger ale would certainly go down a treat anywhere. Fabulous!
This sounds really really tasty! I love the combination of ginger ale and strawberry, yum!
Bran this sounds super delish and so refreshing! Bookmarking right now : )
I think we all make mistakes in the kitchen… we're human. Some recipes have come from a mistake a cook or chef made.
This looks delicious!!
I take berry-flavored sparkling water in my lunch almost every day. I just love the stuff. I'm sure I'd love it in this punch. Although, I'd prob throw some rum in there, too. 😉 I'm sorry to hear the first attempt bombed. I really, really hate when that happens! We've all been there. I think you definitely redeemed yourself with this punch, though. No worries, girl!
I think I would be drinking the "kids" drink! Sounds wonderful!
First of all, I (bomb!!) many of my first trys on recipes that I attempt to make up myself…haha, you have so many delish ones on here so continue to work them out 'till they're right! 🙂
This one looks so refreshing and yummy! I haven't come across many strawberry drink recipes, so I'm glad that you posted this one. How lovely would this be for a summertime shower? Thanks for sharing with us and keep up the scrumptious recipes!!

Love every bit of this! I just bought a flat of berries at our local farmers market so I think I will use those to keep it nice and cold….. Yum!!
That looks so wonderful for summer. I cannot wait for my next event to give this a try. You make the best things.
Just had a BOMB…waffle bomb…this week, lol! This punch looks really good and refreshing..perfect for these hot summer days!
Hey Brandie! Everyone bombs – you are not alone! This punch is sounds great – like you said, you get tired of the ones with sherbert. Keep up the great work!
I should really be starting my day of with a glass of o.j… But, this looks really good!
