Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1/2 Orange (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup Cranberries

Liquids

  • 2 cups Cold cranberry juice
  • 2 cups Cold orange juice
  • 2 cups Ginger Ale or Sprite/Sierra Mist
  • 1 cup Rum or Vodka (optional for boozy version)

Other

  • Ice
  • Optional garnish – Orange wedges and cranberry skewers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruits: Place the orange slices and cranberries in the bottom of a 2-quart pitcher to begin building the punch’s fresh base.
  2. Add the juices: Pour in the cranberry juice and orange juice over the fruits, ensuring a balanced tart and citrus flavor throughout the punch.
  3. Mix the soda: Add the ginger ale or a lemon-lime soda like Sprite or Sierra Mist, then stir gently to combine all liquid ingredients without losing carbonation.
  4. Optional alcohol addition: For a festive adult version, stir in rum or vodka to infuse the punch with a boozy kick.
  5. Serve chilled: Serve the punch immediately over ice cubes to keep it refreshingly cold. Garnish with orange wedges or cranberry skewers if desired for a decorative holiday touch.

Notes

  • This recipe is easily adaptable for non-alcoholic guests by omitting the rum or vodka.
  • Use fresh cranberries for garnish to add color and festive charm.
  • For a stronger punch, increase the amount of rum or vodka to taste, but be mindful of the overall sweetness and balance.
  • You can prepare the punch base (fruits and juices) ahead of time and add soda and alcohol just before serving to maintain fizz and freshness.
  • Ensure the juices and sodas are well chilled before mixing for the best flavor and cold serving temperature.
