I’m a sucker for romance, and love celebrating Valentine’s Days and anniversaries with a grand and intimate meal. Fondue is always one of my first thoughts when it comes to romantic meals, but italian dishes like chicken marsala or chicken parmesan are easy treats to make dinner feel extra special. Cocktails and wine are a must and can easily up the romance and pair beautifully with a full charcuterie board.
A little bit of festivity can also be exciting and dreamy for special occasions! I try to find a balance between keeping it classy and not overdoing it. This sparkling pink punch can be enjoyed at showers, celebrations, and is perfect for Valentine’s Day with the family. On date night for a little more whimsical experience, swap out the soda for prosecco for a delicious cocktail. Sparkling pink raspberry lemonade cranks up the heart-filled fun while delivering on the taste and allure!.
How to: make raspberry lemonade frozen hearts
How cute are these?? I almost wanted to save them so they wouldn’t even melt.
To elevate the punch presentation even more, frozen lemonade hearts are the way to go! These look perfect floating in the punch bowl or to top off each glass.
You can find a heart mold at the discount section at Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Mine is actually meant for baking, but is silicone and can freeze as well.
Pour lemonade into each well. Add whole raspberries, to a few and smashed raspberries to the others to get different patterns.
Freeze overnight. The lemonade will still be a little sticky from the sugar/syrup but will freeze thoroughly.
how to: make pink raspberry punch
Making punch couldn’t be easier! Who doesn’t love sherbet, right?? (Can we talk about how sherbet doesn’t have a second R? SherbeRt just looks better right? I’m not a fan and keep spelling it wrong 😂)
Alas, grab your biggest punch bowl and set the ice cream out to slightly soften, about 15-20 minutes or so. Scoop out most of the ice cream into the bowl, and reserve some to top off each glass with a little scoop.
Pour in the soda, or prosecco if using, and ooh and aah at all the fizzy bubbles!
Next pour in the lemonade, raspberries, and top with frozen hearts. Serve immediately.
To keep your punch fresh for a longer event, only use half of the liquids at first. Refilling the punch once it’s depleted will keep the soda from going stale and losing all those glorious bubbles.
