Pomegranate-and-Pink-Grapefruit Punch image

This festive punch has the tang of grapefruit juice combined with the soft, floral flavor of lychee. And when you add fresh basil leaves to the mix, it brings a taste of summer to the holiday season. After pouring the grapefruit-lychee mixture into a glass, drizzle the pomegranate syrup on top-it will sink to the bottom like grenadine in a tequila sunrise.
