Ingredients
  

2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

1 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)

4 cups sparkling water or club soda

1 cup sparkling wine or champagne (optional for adults)

Zest of 1 orange, lemon, and lime

Fresh citrus slices (orange, lemon, and lime) for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1 cup each) over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow to cool before using. This can be made ahead of time.

    Juice the Citrus: Squeeze the juice from your oranges, lemons, and limes until you have the required amounts. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired.

      Mix the Juices: In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice. Stir in the simple syrup until well blended. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if needed.

        Add Sparkle: Slowly pour in the sparkling water or club soda, stirring gently to combine without losing too much fizziness. If desired, add the sparkling wine or champagne for a festive touch.

          Flavor Enhancement: Add the zests of orange, lemon, and lime to the mixture to enhance the citrus aroma and flavor.

            Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling citrus punch over the ice. Garnish each glass with fresh citrus slices and mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately while it’s chilled and bubbly.
