A delicious sparkling strawberry punch made with strawberries, pineapple juice and 7-up. Add heart shaped strawberries as a garnish for the perfect Valentine's Day punch!
I look forward to Valentine’s Day every year. Not for gifts or going out, but for a romantic dinner with my sweetheart. We started this tradition of staying in years ago, not wanting to deal with crowds, and it was one of the best decisions ever! We make a surf and turf dinner for two to enjoy after the kids go to bed. Not only does it taste better than any restaurant meal, it’s cheaper too!

We typically have grilled steak or filet mignon, and shrimp or lobster tails. For sides we have asparagus and mashed potatoes. Dessert is usually something chocolate, and the beverages vary from sparkling ciders, water, or a Valentine’s day punch.

Today I’m sharing my recipe for Sparkling Strawberry Punch. Perfect to serve on Valentine’s Day. Made with sweetened strawberries, pineapple juice, and 7UP®, it is refreshing and easy to make!

Sparkling Strawberry Punch

Makes about 2 quarts.

Ingredients

48 oz. (4 (12 oz.) bottles) 7UP

1 (15 oz.) container frozen, sliced, and sweetened strawberries

1/2 container frozen pineapple juice concentrate

fresh strawberries, optional

Let container of strawberries sit on counter for a couple of hours to thaw, or thaw in refrigerator overnight. Pour into blender.

Add 1/2 can pineapple juice concentrate and puree in blender with strawberries.

Pour strawberry and pineapple mixture into a pitcher.

Add 7UP. Stir. Let sit for a few minutes to settle then spoon off froth.

To make a quick strawberry garnish simply cut a strawberry in half, then cut a “v” notch out of the top of each half. To make thinner hearts, slice strawberry halves in half once more.

Serve punch with a few strawberry heart slices and enjoy!

This recipe makes just over 2 quarts of strawberry punch.

There are so many ways to use 7UP in refreshing drink mixes! Combine with pink lemonade for sparkling lemonade or add a scoop of raspberry or lime sherbet for a delicious float. The possibilities are endless.

This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anyti This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anytime my camera and tripod go up, he’s right there waiting. Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!

Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas cookies this year and I’m wondering why we didn’t use them before! So cute ($1 at Target). My 9 year old decorated most of the cookies that you see in this photo. I taught her how to use a piping bag, a star tip, and a round tip last year and she hit the ground running. Check out our stories for 6 cookie tutorials for kids using the same frosting tips!
