Riot Punch Recipe is a sour drink made with lemonade and club soda. It is typically served chilled in a glass and mixed with black cherries, cranberries, and blueberries.
The drink gained popularity in the mid-20th century among students from the University of Kansas who enjoy drinking it during summertime picnics. It is estimated that almost 50,000 bottles are consumed at the university during every home football game.
Because of its popularity, many people have tried to replicate the drink by adding different fruits and using other ingredients.
How To Make Riot Punch Recipe?
Ingredients:

Tip 1. If you want to make this a sweeter drink, you can use cranberry-raspberry juice instead of lemonade and blend in vodka for added flavor
Tip 2. If you cannot find black cherries, you can use cranberries and blueberries and serve.
