Polynesian Punch: Ideal Sparkling Vodka Punch
Sep 07, 2025
If you want a sparkling vodka punch that tastes bright and effortless, this one delivers every time. Polynesian Punch is juicy, fizzy, and perfect for parties or porch hangs. It mixes fresh grapefruit with our Lime Cordial and Polynesian Kiss Bitters for a cocktail that feels tropical without leaning sugary.
One drink at a time or a whole batch for a crowd. Either way, it stays balanced and vibrant.
Why This Is the Best Grapefruit Vodka Cocktail
Vodka and grapefruit are a classic pair. We elevate the mix with Lime Cordial for sweetened citrus and Polynesian Kiss Bitters for warm spice and tropical depth. Top it with club soda and the whole drink turns light and refreshing. No artificial anything. Made in New Orleans.

How to Make a Single Sparkling Vodka Punch

How to Make a Large Batch for a Party

Tropical Spice: Polynesian Kiss Bitters for Balance
These bitters bring cinnamon, vanilla, allspice, and tropical fruit into the mix. They anchor the citrus so the drink stays bright without turning sharp. This is the secret to a vodka punch that tastes polished instead of plain.
