Ingredients
2 cups lemon juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
2 cups cold cola
2 cups cold water
1 cup gin
1 cup light rum
1 cup vodka
1 cup tequila
Optional: splash of simple syrup or sweet tea, to mellow flavor
Ice, for serving
Lemon slices and fresh mint, for garnish
Instructions
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the lemon juice, cola, and cold water.
Add the gin, light rum, vodka, and tequila.
Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed.
Taste the punch and, if desired, add a splash of simple syrup or sweet tea to balance the sharpness.
Serve in glasses filled with ice, and garnish each with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.
Cheers! Sip responsibly and enjoy the party vibes.
Notes
For a lighter version, reduce each spirit to ¾ cup and increase the cola or water slightly.
Want more fizz? Add a splash of sparkling water just before serving.
Chill all ingredients beforehand so the punch stays cold without needing too much ice.
Make it ahead, but add ice just before serving to avoid watering it down.
Garnishes are optional, but they add that “wow” factor—don’t skip if you want your punch to shine!
