Moscato Punch! Okay, so picture this. You’ve got friends on the way over, maybe a family cookout, maybe you just want to kick back and sip something a little fun and a little bit fancy—without all the fuss. Regular wine? Sure, but kinda boring after a while. That’s when you pull out the easiest party trick, which is this zesty Moscato Punch. I swear, it’s the one summer drink even people who claim ‘I don’t even like wine’ end up topping off their glass.
MOSCATO WINE PUNCH INGREDIENTS
Alright, you don’t need some five-star restaurant pantry for this. Moscato Punch really only asks for a few basic things. Grab a bottle of sweet Moscato (personally, I go cheap, save the good stuff for sipping). You’ll need some lemon-lime soda—Sprite, 7UP, whatever off-brand happens to be on sale, honestly. I throw in frozen fruit (berries, peaches, maybe a sprig of mint if I’m feeling classy). Sometimes a bit of pineapple juice does wonders if you’re into tropical vibes.
Little side note here. I tried once with mango chunks and—oh boy—it tasted like sunshine. Not even kidding. The punch is seriously forgiving if you want to experiment a bit.

HOW TO MAKE MOSCATO PUNCH
You barely need any skill, I promise. Here’s what I do: I toss all the fruit in my biggest pitcher (half the time it’s just a large measuring jug). Then I pour the Moscato over it—chilled is key if you want maximum refreshment. Add your soda right before serving so it’s super bubbly. Some folks mix in the soda ahead, but trust me, lukewarm flat punch isn’t anyone’s dream.
If you’re prepping ahead, just keep the fruity Moscato “base” in the fridge and only top it off with soda when people walk in. Pro tip—taste it before serving and see if you want more juice or extra berries. Sometimes the punch gets better the longer it sits, soaking up those fruit juices.
