Equipment
- Punch Bowl
- Beverage dispenser
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 64 ounces Cranberry Juice (8 cups)
- 64 ounces Cran-Pineapple Juice (8 cups)
- 8 ounces Frozen Limeade Concentrate (1 standard can, do not add water)
- 2 liters Ginger Ale (or lemon-lime soda like 7Up/Sprite)
Garnish
- 4-6 Whole Limes thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 12 ounces Fresh Cranberries (for garnish)
- 8 cups Ice plus extra for serving
Optional Garnish
- 1 Orange (for glass rims)
- Sparkling Sugar Sprinkles (for glass rims)
Instructions
- Prepare Ahead: For the easiest mixing, let your can of frozen limeade concentrate sit out on the counter for about one hour until it's softened. While it's softening, slice your fresh limes into beautiful thin rounds for garnishing later.
- Combine Juices: In a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser, pour in the cranberry juice, cran-pineapple juice, and the softened frozen limeade concentrate. Stir everything together gently until well combined.
- Add the Fizz: Carefully pour the 2 liters of ginger ale into the mixture. This adds a wonderful sparkle and lightens the punch.
- Chill & Garnish: Add 8 cups of ice to the punch to ensure it's perfectly chilled. Float the thinly sliced limes and fresh cranberries on top for a vibrant, festive appearance.
- Serve with Flair (Optional): For an extra touch, take a sliced orange wedge and run it around the rim of your serving glasses. Then, dip the moistened rim into a plate of sparkling sugar sprinkles for a dazzling finish before pouring the punch.
