Equipment

  • I use a large punch bowl to mix up all the ingredients.
  • You’ll also need a ladle for serving, which makes pouring the punch into glasses a breeze.
  • I prefer using a measuring cup for precise ingredient measurements.
  • It’s helpful to have a cutting board and knife for slicing fruits to garnish your punch.
  • Finally, a stirring spoon ensures everything is well-mixed.

Ingredients

For this punch, I gather some essential ingredients. You’ll need:

  • 4 cups of cranberry juice
  • 2 cups of pineapple juice
  • 1 cup of orange juice
  • 1 cup of ginger ale
  • 2 cups of fresh fruits sliced oranges, lemons, and cranberries
  • Ice cubes
  • I like to use fresh mint leaves for garnish.

If you prefer your punch to have a kick, add 1 cup of vodka.

Instructions

Making this punch is simple and fun!

  • First, I pour all the juices and ginger ale into the punch bowl. Stir everything together gently to combine.
  • Next, add the freshly sliced fruits and ice cubes. If using alcohol, add it at this stage.
  • Stir again, making sure the fruits are evenly distributed. It’s ready to serve!
  • I enjoy scooping the punch into glasses using the ladle and garnishing each drink with a mint leaf.

Voila! A delicious, festive drink for holiday cheer. 🍒🥤

    Notes

    Keep in mind a few helpful tips. You can adjust the sweetness by changing the juice proportions. Adding more pineapple or orange juice can make it sweeter, while more cranberry juice adds tartness.
    If serving kids, simply leave out the alcohol for a non-alcoholic version. For a stronger punch, consider adding more ginger ale or experimenting with different spirits like rum or gin.
    Using fresh fruits enhances the punch's flavor and presentation. I’d love to hear your variations or special touches in the comments! 🍋✨
