Ingredients
Scale
Base Juices:
- 2 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
- 2 cups cranberry juice (choose unsweetened for a tangy punch or sweetened for a sweeter sip)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
Fizz:
- 1 cup ginger ale or sparkling water
Garnishes:
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds (optional, for added elegance)
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
Extras:
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine the Juices
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, mix the orange juice, cranberry juice, and pineapple juice. Stir well to blend the flavors harmoniously. - Add the Sparkle
Right before serving, slowly pour in the ginger ale or sparkling water. This keeps the punch bubbly and festive. - Prepare the Glasses
Fill each glass with ice cubes and sprinkle in a few pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and texture. - Serve and Garnish
Ladle the punch into the prepared glasses. Add fresh cranberries and orange slices on top for a festive presentation.
Notes
- Adult Version: For a boozy twist, add champagne, prosecco, or vodka. Adjust the amount to your preference, keeping the punch light and celebratory.
- Make Ahead: Save time by mixing the juices the night before. Store them in the fridge, then add the ginger ale or sparkling water right before serving to preserve the fizz.
- Creative Ice Cubes: Freeze cranberry or orange juice into ice cubes. Not only will they keep the punch cold, but they’ll also add flavor as they melt.
- Holiday Flair: Use a decorative punch bowl and festive ladle to make the drink a centerpiece.
