The original fruit punch recipe is designed to serve 10 people. You have been asked to prepare the fruit punch for a group of 25 people. Your goal is to adjust the ingredient quantities in the recipe to ensure that each serving remains equally flavorful and satisfying.
Ingredients in the Original Recipe:
•2 cups orange juice
•1 cup pineapple juice
•1/2 cup cranberry juice
•1/4 cup lemon juice
•1 cup sparkling water
•1/4 cup sugar
•Ice cubes
To adjust the ingredient quantities in the original recipe to serve 25 people, you will need to increase the quantities of each ingredient proportionally.
New quantities for the fruit punch recipe to serve 25 people:
- 5 cups orange juice (2 cups x 25/10)
- 2.5 cups pineapple juice (1 cup x 25/10)
- 1.25 cups cranberry juice (1/2 cup x 25/10)
- 5/8 cup lemon juice (1/4 cup x 25/10)
- 2.5 cups sparkling water (1 cup x 25/10)
- 5/8 cup sugar (1/4 cup x 25/10)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Adjust the ingredients according to these new quantities, mix everything together, and serve the fruit punch to the group of 25 people.
To adjust the ingredient quantities in the original fruit punch recipe to serve 25 people while maintaining the same flavor and satisfaction for each serving, you will need to calculate and adjust the ingredient quantities as follows:
1. Determine the conversion factor:
Number of servings required / Number of servings in the original recipe
25 / 10 = 2.5
2. Multiply each ingredient quantity by the conversion factor to get the adjusted quantities:
• Orange juice: 2 cups x 2.5 = 5 cups
• Pineapple juice: 1 cup x 2.5 = 2.5 cups
• Cranberry juice: 1/2 cup x 2.5 = 1.25 cups
• Lemon juice: 1/4 cup x 2.5 = 0.625 cups (rounded to 2/3 cups)
• Sparkling water: 1 cup x 2.5 = 2.5 cups
• Sugar: 1/4 cup x 2.5 = 0.625 cups (rounded to 2/3 cups)
3. For the ice cubes, you can estimate based on the original recipe or adjust to personal preference.
The adjusted quantities for each ingredient to serve 25 people are:
• 5 cups orange juice
• 2.5 cups pineapple juice
• 1.25 cups cranberry juice
• 2/3 cups lemon juice
• 2.5 cups sparkling water
• 2/3 cups sugar
Please note that these quantities are approximate and can be adjusted based on taste preferences or specific dietary restrictions.
