Spring is finally here, and honestly, there’s nothing better than kicking off the season with a fresh, vibrant drink that screams sunshine and patio weather. That's why I’m so excited about this Herb & Citrus Spring Punch . It’s light, it’s refreshing, and it’s ridiculously easy to throw together when you’ve got people coming over — or even if you just want a “fancy” drink moment for yourself.

The secret ingredient that totally sets it apart? Our Berry & Brine Strawberry Basil Syrup. It gives the punch a sweet, herby twist that pairs perfectly with the tart grapefruit juice and the spicy little zing from the ginger beer. Toss in a bunch of citrus slices, fresh herbs, and a splash of soda water, and you’ve got a pitcher that’s almost too pretty to drink. (Almost.) You can even spike it with a little gin or vodka if you’re feeling it — perfect for brunches, baby showers, Mother’s Day, or just an afternoon hangout. Let’s dive into this easy, breezy springtime sip you’ll want on repeat.

• Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice
  Go for a fresh-pressed or good-quality bottled ruby red grapefruit juice. It should be naturally sweet with a little tart bite — not overly bitter. A smoother juice gives the citrus punch a bright, fruity base without overpowering the syrup and soda.
  
  

• Ginger Beer
  Choose a ginger beer with a nice spicy kick but not too much sugar. Brands like Fever-Tree or Bundaberg work great. You want that bold ginger flavor to add a little warmth and sparkle to the drink.
  
  

• Berry & Brine Strawberry Basil Syrup
  Our house-made syrup is where the magic happens. It’s sweet, slightly herbal, and brings a summery freshness that ties the whole punch together. Don’t skip it — it’s what makes this drink special!
  
  

• Soda Water
  A good plain soda water adds the perfect amount of fizz without any extra sweetness. Stick to a classic like Perrier, or use a soda stream if you have one at home.
  
  

• Ice
  Big ice cubes work best here so the punch doesn’t get watered down too fast. If you want to be extra, freeze some citrus slices into the cubes!
  
  

• Citrus and Herb Garnishes
  Grab fresh grapefruit, lemon, lime slices, strawberries, basil, and mint. The more colorful and fragrant your garnishes, the more festive and gorgeous your citrus punch pitcher will be!
