Step-by-Step Instructions for Summer Punch
- Prepare the simple syrups by combining equal parts of sugar and water in two small saucepans, simmering until dissolved. Add fresh cherries and strawberries to enhance flavor, simmer for 5 minutes, then strain and cool.
- In a large punch bowl, mix together the peach juice, pineapple orange juice, and lemonade. Stir gently for 30 seconds to blend flavors.
- Add the cherry and strawberry simple syrups to the punch bowl, stirring gently for another 30 seconds until well combined.
- Pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda just before serving, stirring gently to preserve carbonation.
- Serve over ice if desired, garnishing with lemon wheels, lime wheels, or fresh fruit slices.

Notes
Prepare the simple syrups a day ahead for best flavor. Keep lemon-lime soda separate until ready to serve to maintain fizz.
