How to make

  1. Build the base – In a large pitcher, pour 6 parts Jameson over a handful of ice.

  2. Add the fruit – Add 4 parts orange juice and 3 parts grapefruit juice.

  3. Sweeten – Stir in 1 part simple syrup until fully combined.

  4. Chill & blend – Give the pitcher a gentle stir to chill and marry the flavors.

  5. Top with bubbles – Right before serving, add 8 parts sparkling wine so the punch stays fizzy.
