Made with the most delicious blend of citrus fruits, this Immunity Boosting Citrus Gin cocktail recipe is just what your immune system needs!
This citrus gin cocktail is inspired by a LOT of travel coming up for us. Since we knew were are going to be racking in a lot of frequent flyer miles, a blast of fresh citrus was in order.
And there’s no better way to ensure a great trip than by making sure your health is in tip-top shape. Our favorite part about this cocktail is that you can make a big batch and throw it in a pretty punch bowl!
It was perfect for our sky-high rooftop patio makeover reveal. Plus, the cocktail made good use of our gold swan punch bowl.
Ingredients Needed to Make a Immunity Boosting Citrus Gin Punch
Gin — We opted for gin since it is low in calories and carbs and has no added sugar. It’s also a great choice when paired with fruit juices. This is a similar take to a Gin and Juice.
Sparkling wine
Lime, orange, grapefruit and guava
Pineapple slices — Optional for garnish
Recipe Notes
Strain the cocktail mix:
When it’s all blended together, the pineapple and guava make it deliciously frothy! Just make sure to strain out the guava seeds with a fine mesh strainer, they’re not the most pleasant to crunch on while sipping.
Garnish ideas:
It’s fun to experiment with different garnishes and floaters. Throw some orange and lime slices into the punch bowl or top your cocktail with some frozen pineapple chunks!
Substituting out the gin:
Not a gin fan? It’s totally delicious with vodka too. Or you can turn it into an immunity-boosting mocktail, perfect for prepping the kids to go back to school!

Has anyone tried this without the Guava? Or is there something you’d recommend can be substituted INSTEAD of the Guava? I’m uncertain of the flavor Guava adds, so am looking for suggestions.
Hi Beth! This Immunity Boosting Citrus Gin Punch Cocktail is absolutely delicious as it is. I haven’t tried it with anything other than guava though.
If the taste is as good as the appearance, this drink should be a delight! Thank you for sharing!

Since when is gin an immune booster?
Hi Kathy,
The juniper berries that gin is made from are packed with anti-aging antioxidants and also vitamin C! These are said to give your immune system a boost and ward off pesky colds!
