Festive punch blending cranberry, citrus juices, and a vibrant fruit-studded ice ring for holiday gatherings.
# What You'll Need:
→ Ice Ring
01 - 1 orange, thinly sliced
02 - 1 lemon, thinly sliced
03 - 1 cup fresh cranberries
04 - 2 cups water or clear fruit juice (such as white grape juice)
→ Punch
05 - 4 cups cranberry juice, chilled
06 - 2 cups orange juice, chilled
07 - 1 cup pineapple juice, chilled
08 - 4.2 cups ginger ale, chilled
09 - 4.2 cups lemon-lime soda, chilled
10 - 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
11 - 1/2 cup simple syrup (optional, to taste)
# Directions:
01 - Arrange orange and lemon slices along with cranberries evenly in a Bundt pan or ring mold. Pour water or clear fruit juice over the fruit to cover completely. Freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
02 - Briefly dip the pan in warm water to loosen the ice ring, then invert it onto a serving plate carefully.
03 - In a large punch bowl, stir together cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup if using until well mixed.
04 - Gently pour the chilled ginger ale and lemon-lime soda into the juice mixture just before serving. Stir gently to combine without losing carbonation.
05 - Float the prepared ice ring in the punch bowl to provide a visually festive centerpiece.
