Ingredients
  

Peach puree
  • 2 cup fresh peach puree About 4 peaches, pureed
  • 4 peaches For slicing and garnish
  • 1 ice For serving
Guava and lemon base
  • 1 cup guava nectar or juice Choose one
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 cup simple syrup (or to taste) Start with 1/2 cup, adjust later
  • 1 cup lemon For slicing/lemon rounds garnish
Lemonade and sparkle
  • 4 cup lemonade
  • 2 cup sparkling water or ginger ale Add right before serving to keep it fizzy
  • 1 guava For slicing and garnish

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Mix the punch base
  1. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the fresh peach puree, guava nectar, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup, then stir until fully blended.
  2. Add the lemonade and stir to combine, keeping the mixture uniform in color.
Chill
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until well chilled, with a cool, steady temperature throughout.
Finish and serve
  1. Just before serving, add the sparkling water or ginger ale and stir gently so bubbles stay active.
  2. Add ice to the bowl and garnish with sliced peaches, guava slices, and lemon rounds so they’re visible on top.
  3. Taste the punch and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup if needed, then stir again briefly to distribute.

Notes

For the clearest punch color, blend the peaches until smooth before measuring, then chill the base thoroughly so it tastes balanced when diluted by ice. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered pitcher for up to 2 days (add sparkling water only when ready to serve, not before storing). Freezing isn’t recommended because the texture can turn watery after thawing. If you want a lighter option, use diet lemonade and keep the guava nectar to taste for a lower-sugar punch.
