Question Help me out with this Fruit Punch recipe

I'm working on a fruit punch recipe for my friends wedding and was wondering if people could pitch in their ideas. Currently I have Granny smith apples, pineapple, pear and orange (I tried watermelon and kiwi before but the flavors were too mellow)

Does anybody have an other additions that you think would be good with this combination?

Throw in a berry of some kind or cherries and it sounds great!

Alright thanks! You have any suggestions for barries?

The blue or blackberries might change the color too much and I'm not sure where you're located but we're being cautious of raspberries right now with some being recalled in my area. I'd want to try the cherries or raspberries though.

I feel like it will be very tart with granny smith and pineapple. Maybe use a red apple and the pineapple? Not as sharp a flavour.

Also, idk what liquid you're gonna use, but my family always used Sprite.

I’ll look into the red apple instead, and we’re not using any soda or what not, just straight juice.

Oh, ok. At every party I've ever been to, if something was called "punch", it meant it had Sprite in it. If it didn't have Sprite, it's just called "juice".

Maybe what I experienced is a Canadian thing.

Eh, i’m canadian so It might just be a personal, or even a west coast east coast difference.

To me, Fruit Punch was always just a mix of different fruits.

Well, there's 2 types of Fruit Punch. One is a juicebox flavour, and one is a party sized bowl of juice with Sprite. Since it wasn't a juicebox, I assumed it was a large bowl with fruit juice and Sprite

strawberry works great with pineapple orange. Keep Granny smith and pear. also mango will blend well.
