Here in southern Missouri we love celebrating the four seasons. Sure, it can feel a little sad to know that summer is almost over. But this simply means that fall is about to begin! As much as I love tank tops and warm weather I am excited to bake with more apples, break out the scarves and order a pumpkin spice latte when the day comes. 🙂 We partnered with Coppola Wines to create a sparkling punch recipe that can be customized to fit any season you are currently celebrating.
The idea is simple: Add fruits to this basic punch recipe that showcase the seasons. We used Sofia Blanc de Blancs in this punch because it includes flavors of apples, pears, citrus and honeysuckle. Apples and pears sound like autumn flavors, while citrus is all summer.
Four Seasons Sparkling Punch, makes 8-10 servings (so throw a party!)
2 bottles Sofia Blanc de Blancs sparkling white wine
1/2 cup light simple syrup (recipe follows)
1 apple
1 pear
1 starfruit
1 orange
1 grapefruit
1 lime
edible flowers for garnish
To make light simple syrup combine 1/2-cup water with 1/2-cup sugar. Stir together over medium heat until all the sugar as dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool before use.
Slice the citrus (orange, grapefruit and lime) in half. From one half extract the juice. Use the other half to slice into thin pieces. Slice the remaining fruit into thin pieces as well.In a punch bowl combine the simple syrup, citrus juices, fruit peices and wine. Give it all a good stir and garnish with edible flowers if you can find any. If not don't worry, this punch is pretty enough for a party without any additional garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy! xo. Emma

So stunning 🙂 love these!
Orange is spelt wrong xxx
wow so delicious =D
So pretty! I love all of the fruit. Especially the star fruit. Growing up my mom always made a fruit salad for Christmas that had star fruit in it, so very sentimental. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful wine bottle! Beautiful presentation on the punch.
oh it looks spectacular and I am sure it would’ve tasted amazing.
Yum, that looks delicious!! I am a huge sucker for anything sangria or jungle juicy. xoxo
I just found a fabulous vintage punch bowl on sale, and now you’ve shared a stellar recipe. This looks amazing! I can’t wait to give it a try for a housewarming party. Thank you!
Monica, Edible flowers is something we’ve done a bit of research on and there is a LOT of conflicting information out there. For now, we stick with packs labeled “edible flowers” at the grocery store. 🙂
It looks like a gorgeous summery sangria! Yum!
This punch is SO pretty, I love the touch of the edible flowers xx

Looks so good!! The fruit makes it look so pretty! 🙂
i haven’t had starfruit in YEARS!
APparently summer is returning next week- i’ll flag this recipe up fer sure!
I was admiring a punch bowl in a shop window the other day! Now I have an excuse to buy one 🙂
I love the idea of a punch that can be adapted to all seasons. You could swap the wine for a rose, pop in strawberries and raspberries and have the perfect punch for a ladies night in…
I love the idea of celebrating the change of seasons. Might have to start doing this instead of repeating the dread of summer ending.
Also – that punch is so cute!
This punch looks beautiful and delicious. Love the addition of flowers!
