Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups cranberry juice, chilled
- 4 cups orange juice, chilled
- 2 liters ginger ale or lemon-lime soda, chilled
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 oranges, thinly sliced
- Ice ring or ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine the chilled cranberry juice and orange juice in a large punch bowl.
- Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled ginger ale or soda. Stir gently to mix the liquids without losing too much carbonation.
- Add the thinly sliced oranges and cranberries to the punch.
- If using an ice ring, place it gently into the punch bowl to keep the drink cold without diluting it quickly. Otherwise, add ice cubes.
- Serve immediately in glasses.
Notes
- For a make-ahead option, mix the cranberry and orange juices and chill them. Keep the soda separate and add it right before guests arrive.
- To create a festive ice ring, freeze water, a few orange slices, and some cranberries in a bundt pan or ring mold the day before.
- If you prefer a less sweet punch, use plain sparkling water instead of ginger ale or lemon-lime soda.
