- To create this refreshing drink here's what you'll need:
- - 4 cups cranberry juice
- - 1½ cups orange juice
- - 1½ cups pineapple juice or pineapple coconut juice, if available
- - 1/4 cup lime juice
- - 1 cup pomegranate juice
- - 3 cups chilled ginger ale
- - A selection of sliced fruits for garnish such as oranges, lemons, and fresh berries
Step 1: Mix the Juices
In a large pitcher, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, and pomegranate juice. This mix creates the foundation of your punch. Stir gently with a long spoon until well combined.
Step 2: Chill the Mixture
Step 3: Prepare for Serving
When you’re ready to serve the punch, take the pitcher out of the fridge. Add the chilled ginger ale just moments before serving to preserve the fizziness. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to disturb the bubbles too much.
- Use Fresh Juice: Whenever possible, opt for freshly squeezed juices to enhance the flavor.
- Chill Your Ingredients: Before making the punch, make sure all the juices and ginger ale are chilled. Warm juices can diminish the refreshing quality.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you’d like your punch a bit sweeter, feel free to add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup, adjusting to taste.
- Make it Colorful: Use a variety of colorful fruits for garnish; not only does it look inviting, but it also provides an extra burst of flavor!
- Alcohol Option: For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or rum. Just be sure to label it so the non-drinkers are aware!
