Ingredients

  • 3 cups orange juice
  • 3 cups cranberry juice
  • 1 cup lemon juice (or more to taste)
  • 3 cups ginger ale
  • 1-2 cups pineapple juice (optional but adds a lovely zing!)
  • Lemon, orange, cranberries, mint or strawberries (to garnish)
  • Ice cubes or additional frozen cranberries

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add orange juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and lemon juice to a large bowl or pitcher. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  2. Step 2: Just before serving, gently pour in the ginger ale and stir slowly to keep the bubbles intact.
  3. Step 3: Add ice cubes or frozen cranberries to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with slices of lemon, orange, cranberries, mint leaves, or strawberries for a colorful and fresh presentation.

Tips & Variations

  • For a sweeter punch, add a splash of simple syrup or use sparkling lemonade instead of ginger ale.
  • Substitute lime juice for lemon juice to add a slightly different citrus twist.
  • Use frozen fruit instead of ice cubes to keep the drink cold without watering it down.
  • Adjust the amount of pineapple juice based on your preference for sweetness and tang.

Storage

Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To maintain fizz, add ginger ale only when ready to serve again. Stir gently and add fresh ice or frozen fruit before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows two clear tall glasses and one large clear bowl filled with a pinkish-red drink. Each glass has floating slices of orange, lime, and strawberry along with red berries, showing about three layers of fruit at the top and middle immersed in the liquid. The bowl on the right is nearly full with the same drink, with visible slices of lemon, orange, and strawberries floating near the surface. Around the glasses and bowl, there are scattered slices of lime, orange, and strawberry on a white marbled surface. The lighting gives the drink a fresh, cool look, with droplets on the bowl adding a sense of coldness. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
