To make this Moscato Sparkle Punch, gather the following ingredients. This list yields about 6–8 servings.

1 bottle (750 ml) Moscato wine, chilled
2 cups ginger ale, chilled
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 orange, sliced into rounds
1 lemon, sliced into rounds or wedges
½ cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
Ice cubes
Optional: mint leaves for garnish

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

You likely already have everything required:

A large pitcher or punch bowl
A long-handled spoon for gentle stirring
A sharp knife for slicing fruit
Measuring cups
Serving glasses (wine glasses, tumblers, or punch cups)

Ingredient Substitutions and Additions

This punch is highly adaptable, and you can easily tweak it to suit your taste preferences or the ingredients you have on hand.

Wine alternatives: Swap Moscato with another sweet wine like Riesling or Gewürztraminer. For something drier, use Prosecco or a Brut sparkling wine.
Juice swaps: Peach nectar, mango juice, cranberry juice, or passion fruit juice all work well.
Berries: In addition to strawberries, feel free to add raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
Citrus: Lime slices can be swapped in for lemon or added for more zest.
Ginger ale alternative: Sparkling water or club soda can be used for a less sweet version, or lemon-lime soda for a little more kick.
Alcohol boost: Add ½ cup of vodka, rum, or peach schnapps for a stronger cocktail.
Mocktail version: Use sparkling white grape juice instead of Moscato and a splash of lemon juice for balance.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Moscato Sparkle Punch

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Wash and slice the strawberries, orange, and lemon. Cut pineapple chunks into bite-sized pieces if using fresh pineapple. Place all the fruit into a large pitcher or punch bowl.

Step 2: Combine the Liquid Ingredients

Pour in the chilled Moscato wine, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without bruising the fruit.

Step 3: Add the Ginger Ale

Just before serving, pour in the chilled ginger ale. Stir gently again to mix without losing too much carbonation.

Step 4: Serve Over Ice

Fill each glass with a handful of ice cubes. Pour the punch over the ice, making sure each glass gets a few pieces of fruit. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a citrus wedge if desired.

What to Serve with Moscato Sparkle Punch

This punch pairs well with a variety of dishes, especially those that lean light, fresh, or a little indulgent. Here are some favorites:

Savory finger foods like smoked salmon toast, prosciutto-wrapped melon, or deviled eggs
Cheese and charcuterie boards with brie, goat cheese, and fruit spreads
Sweet pastries like fruit tarts, lemon bars, and scones
Light salads with citrus vinaigrette or strawberry-balsamic glaze
Grilled chicken skewers or shrimp cocktail for a more substantial bite

Tips for Success

Chill all ingredients in advance. Cold wine and juice are key for keeping the punch refreshing.
Don’t add ice to the pitcher or bowl—it will dilute the drink. Add ice directly to glasses instead.
Add the ginger ale last to maintain its fizz.
Use a clear glass container if possible to show off the beautiful layers of fruit.
Don’t overstir after adding ginger ale, or you’ll lose carbonation.
Prep ahead of time by slicing fruit and mixing juices up to a day in advance.

Storing Leftovers

If you end up with leftovers, transfer the punch (including the fruit) to a sealed pitcher and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavors will continue to meld, and the drink will take on more of a sangria-style character. However, note that the ginger ale will lose its fizz over time. For best results, add a splash of fresh ginger ale before serving any stored portions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this punch ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the base of the punch (Moscato, juices, and fruit) several hours ahead and store it in the fridge. Add the ginger ale just before serving to preserve the carbonation.

Is Moscato wine sweet?

Moscato is a naturally sweet and fruity wine, often with notes of peach, citrus, and floral undertones. It’s light in alcohol and pairs perfectly with the fruit juices in this punch.

Can I make a non-alcoholic version?

Absolutely. Replace the Moscato with sparkling white grape juice and add a squeeze of lemon juice to balance the sweetness. You’ll still get the bubbly, fruity vibe without the alcohol.

What’s the best type of Moscato to use?

Any Moscato you enjoy sipping will work well. Pink Moscato adds a blush of color, while white Moscato keeps things classic and golden. For a slightly less sweet version, go with a semi-sparkling Moscato d’Asti.

Can I add liquor to make it stronger?

Yes. A splash of vodka, rum, or even peach schnapps blends well with the other flavors. Start with ½ cup and adjust to taste.

Final Thoughts

Moscato Sparkle Punch is everything a party drink should be—bright, beautiful, refreshing, and easy to make. It brings people together, makes any occasion feel a little more special, and can be customized endlessly based on what you have and what you love.
