This is absolutely delicious. Don’t change a thing! I took this to a dinner party and everyone loved it but I’ve been making it at home just for us too. It really only takes 10 minutes to prepare everything!

Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk while stirring continuously. This will create a rich, velvety texture that makes this punch truly unique. For an even creamier version, whisk in the heavy cream as well. Your mixture should now have a beautiful light pink hue and a luscious consistency.

Step 4: Chill and Sparkle

Add ice cubes directly to the bowl to chill the punch. Then, gently pour in the sparkling water or club soda just before serving. This adds a refreshing fizz that elevates the drink, making it light and lively on the palate.

Note: Add the sparkling water at the last minute to preserve its effervescence!

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Transfer the creamy strawberry apple punch into individual glasses filled with extra ice cubes. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of strawberry or apple for an eye-catching and inviting presentation.

Serve immediately and watch as your guests swoon over this visually stunning and tantalizingly delicious drink!

Additional Tips for Perfect Results:
• Flavor Boost: Add a splash of coconut milk or a dash of vanilla extract for a tropical twist

• Adult Version: For a grown-up party, a splash of rum or vodka blends beautifully with the fruity flavors.

• Make-Ahead: You can prepare the base (without the sparkling water) a few hours ahead and keep it refrigerated. Just add the sparkling water when ready to serve.
