As I’m sure you know, the 3rd movie in the incredibly popular Cars movie franchise is set to release on June 16th. All our favorite characters are back for one more turn around the track, including fan favorite, Lightning McQueen. The newest movie also introduces Cruz Ramirez, a feisty, sunny, optimistic young car who helps Lightning train to defeat rookie sensation Jackson in the Florida 500.

We wanted a Cars 3 fruit punch recipe that celebrated the friendship between Lightning and Cruz, since it looks to be an integral and inspirational part of the new film. As I’m sure you know by now, Lightning is a red car with yellow and orange accents. Cruz is all yellow with just a touch of red/orange in the Rust-eze racing logo. What better way to celebrate their bond than with a punch recipe that incorporates their two main colors? Check out the trailer, then read on for how to make this fun Cars 3 mocktail for kids!
