Let’s be real. Those transformation photos are inspiring, but real-life celebrations still happen. Easter, Easter Bunny Punch, backyard egg hunts—these moments are where memories (and sometimes marshmallows) are made.
This punch is light, fizzy, and customizable (hello coconut milk, goodbye guilt). It’s one of those recipes that feels Pinterest-perfect without the behind-the-scenes chaos.
If you’re watching your intake, simply go with sparkling water instead of soda. And if you’ve got kiddos or party guests craving whimsy, candy bunnies and edible flowers are your secret weapon.

🥤 Ingredients
- 1 bottle (2 liters) lemon-lime soda
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional but creamy delicious)
- 1–2 cups ginger ale or sparkling water (for fizz)
- 2 tbsp grenadine (optional—for that magical ombre effect)
- Mini marshmallows, mint sprigs, bunny-shaped lemon slices for garnish
- Optional décor: Candy bunnies, pastel paper straws, edible flowers
🥄How to Make It
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large pitcher or punch bowl (yes, even the one with snowflakes you use year-round), combine your lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, orange juice, lemonade, and coconut milk. Stir gently like you’re serenading the drink—no splashes!
Step 2: Fizz It Up
“Ooh, it’s like a sunset in a glass!” Then you know you nailed it.
Step 4: Garnish with Joy
Now for the fun part! Float those mini marshmallows on top like they’re having a pool party. Add bunny-shaped lemon slices (cookie cutters work wonders), fresh mint for that “spa day” vibe, and toss in a few candy bunnies or edible flowers if you’re feeling extra festive.
Step 5: Serve It Up
Ladle into glasses and pop in a colorful paper straw. Pro tip: let the kids pick their favorite straw color—it’ll buy you at least 5 minutes of peace.
🍽️ Cooking Tips & Punch Wisdom
- Want to lighten it up? Swap the soda for sparkling water or use sugar-free juices. Your taste buds won’t know the difference, but your jeans might thank you.
- Hosting outdoors? Keep it chilled by freezing a batch of the juice base in ice cube trays the night before. They won’t water it down as they melt!
- Grenadine too fancy? A little cherry juice or pomegranate juice gives the same effect—use what’s already lurking in your fridge.
So here’s the deal—I first whipped this up when my daughter insisted we needed something “sparkly” for Easter brunch. After a quick fridge raid and some trial-and-error (read: too much coconut milk one time), this version became our go-to. Now she calls it “bunny juice,” and honestly, I kinda love that.
If your family has fallen in love with cozy, crowd-pleasers like chicken and biscuits soup, this punch adds the perfect splash of color to balance out the comfort food vibes. It’s easy, it’s fun, and no judgment if you sneak a glass before the guests arrive.
FAQ
Can I make this Easter Bunny Punch ahead of time?
Yes! Mix everything except the ginger ale/sparkling water and grenadine ahead. Add those just before serving so your fizz stays fabulous.
What can I use instead of grenadine?
Try cherry or cranberry juice for a similar look. You can even skip it—your punch will still be delicious.
Can I add alcohol for the grown-ups?
Absolutely—add a splash of vodka, prosecco, or white rum to individual glasses. Keep it kid-friendly in the main bowl, though!
Oh yes. The fruity freshness is a fun contrast to the warm, savory richness. Easter brunch win? Nailed it.
