Judy Punch
Shake ∙ 3 min ∙
A non-alcoholic fruit punch of pink grapefruit, pineapple, and lemon juice with lime cordial, shaken and served over ice. Frothy from the shake, it lands tart-sweet up front and fades into a clean, juicy finish with barely any lingering bitterness.

Tips
- Shake hard and briefly with plenty of ice — the juices need aeration to marry, not long dilution.
- Pre-chill the glass before straining so the ice in it lasts longer and the punch does not warm on contact.
- Use freshly squeezed grapefruit and lemon juice rather than bottled; both lose brightness fast once juiced.
FAQ
What is in a Judy Punch?
Pink grapefruit, pineapple, and fresh lemon juice with lime cordial, shaken and strained over ice into a Collins glass with a lime wedge. It is alcohol-free, at roughly 98 calories a serving.
How do you make a Judy Punch?
Shake the grapefruit, pineapple, and lemon juice together with the lime cordial over plenty of ice, then strain into an ice-filled Collins glass and garnish with a lime wedge. Shake briskly rather than long — the juices need the aeration, not the dilution.
Is a Judy Punch alcoholic?
No, it is built entirely from juices and lime cordial with no spirit in it. If you want a spiked version, a white spirit such as vodka, gin, or white rum folds in cleanly, since the tart-sweet balance already works much like a sour mix.
