fruit punch

Ladled bowl drink

Fruit punch is a sweet beverage made by combining fruit juices—typically citrus, tropical, or berry—often with water, sugar, and sometimes carbonation.

It's a staple at children's parties and casual gatherings, served from large bowls with a ladle: We made a big batch of fruit punch for the cookout.

Adult versions may include alcohol, especially rum or vodka.

The bright red variety, often artificially flavored, is particularly associated with American school events and church functions.
