Why You’ll Love This Citrus Fruit Punch Mocktail
I’m always looking at seasonal produce to inspire my next recipe, and this Citrus Fruit Punch Mocktail is perfect for citrus season. It’s packed with fresh fruit juices, lemon oil, and orange flower water so it’s bursting with the zippiest, most refreshing citrus fruit flavors!
At the same time, however, the dark red color and herby rosemary garnish give the mocktail a wintery spin. You can serve this drink for a holiday party or a regular Tuesday night– it’s versatile, customizable, and absolutely delicious.

Ingredient Notes
Here’s what you need for this easy fruit punch mocktail recipe:
- Orange juice. I highly recommend using blood orange juice for the deep red color and more concentrated citrus flavor. But if you can’t find blood orange, regular orange juice works too.
- Hibiscus tea. You can buy this from the store or brew your own with tea bags.
- Wine alternative. I use this Three Trees non-alcoholic wine from Spark Society.
- Spritz aperitif. This is the brand that I love.
- Orange flower water. You can also use orgeat syrup.
- Rosemary. Use the fresh stuff for a nice garnish.
- Lemon oil. This adds a rich, but bright and citrusy note to the drink. If you don’t have it, substitute fresh lemon juice or lime juice.
- Sparkling water. You can use any flavor you like to add bubbles to the drink. Club soda also works. As does ginger ale if you’d like some sweetened bubbles.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Add all ingredients to a serving bowl or a pitcher, and gently stir to combine.
Step 2
Adjust everything to taste, serve over ice cubes, and garnish with rosemary sprigs and fresh orange slices.
Secrets to Success
- Mocktail Health Benefits: Not only is this recipe better for you than a traditional cocktail for the obvious reason of not containing alcohol, but it’s also full of good-for-you ingredients. All of the citrus ingredients offer tons of vitamin C, which improves the appearance of skin and boosts the immune system. You’ll also get antioxidants from the juice and hibiscus tea. And if you include the optional Livener Elixer, you’ll get a healthy dose of natural caffeine from guava leaf.
- Lemon oil is derived from lemon rind, and it contains anti-microbial properties that are great for the immune system. You can find it online and at well-stocked grocery stores near the baking extracts.
- Big Batch: If you’d like to make this citrus spritz drink for a crowd, you definitely can. Simply combine all of the ingredients except the sparkling water in a large pitcher or punch bowl. Then let guests serve themselves, and top with sparkling water and a garnish.
- Sweetener: If you’d like your drink a little sweeter, feel free to add a little simple syrup to the mix. Or sweeten with additional fruit juices like mango juice or pineapple juice or another favorite juice.
Serving Tips
Serve in a glass with ice cubes and garnish with rosemary sprigs and fresh orange slices.
