Instructions
- Combine Juices: In a large punch bowl or pitcher, pour together the pineapple juice, lemonade, and orange juice. Stir thoroughly to blend all the fruity flavors uniformly.
- Add Fruits: Add the sliced lemon, orange, and pineapple chunks into the juice mixture. This not only infuses more fresh fruit flavor but also adds a colorful and inviting look.

Notes
- To make a boozy version, add 1–2 cups of rum, vodka, or coconut rum.
- Freeze some of the juice mixture into ice cubes to chill the punch without diluting it.
- The punch can be made ahead by mixing the juices and fruit, then adding the soda just before serving.
