First things first. Fruit punch was originated in India and the word Punch in Sanskrit means five. It used to be just any 5 fruits that one chose depending on their favourite but lime juice was always one of the five. juices.
Sadly, as is the case with anything the originality does not exist any more In the Hawaii for example they use 7 types of fruits and still call that drink fruit punch. . And even pieces of fruits are found floating in the drink Nothing is illegal but the name fruit punch ceases to have that meaning any more.
Enjoy your fruit punch and twist and turn it the way you like it Merry Christmas.

It was interesting to know details about fruit punch. I love all connected with fruit.
You can just pick what fruits you enjoy
I had no idea about its origin, very interesting!
I have served this at some parties.
I don’t know this drink. I would definitely like it because I love fruit.
Fruit juices will sure make for a good drink.
I don’t know this drink, but it’s probably a great refreshing drink, my friend

It sure is. Just try it once.
Language evolves, Grace 🙂 Some people believe the other meaning of ‘punch’ (to strike with the fist) also derives from the same source, but I think it is more likely a shortened form of ‘punish’. Anyway, I want some proper punch with my Christmas dinner this year 😀
Go for it and think of me. You will love it. Merry Christmas
