Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups cranberry juice cocktail
- 3 cups orange juice, chilled
- 4 cups lemon-lime soda or ginger ale, chilled
- 1 orange, thinly sliced for garnish
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries for garnish
- Optional: Rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled cranberry juice and orange juice. Stir gently to mix.
- Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Stir carefully one time to combine the carbonation without losing too much fizz.
- Add the orange slices and fresh or frozen cranberries to the punch bowl.
- If using, float a few rosemary sprigs on top for a festive look and aroma.
- Serve immediately in glasses filled with ice.
Notes
- You can prepare the cranberry and orange juice mixture up to 24 hours ahead of time. Keep it refrigerated and add the sparkling soda just before guests arrive.
- For a beautiful presentation, freeze some cranberries and orange slices in a large ice ring or in the punch bowl itself to keep the punch cold without diluting the flavor.
- If you are looking for alternatives to standard meal planning, this recipe is simple enough for quick holiday preparation.
