Ingredients
2 cups cranberry juice
4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups orange juice
4 cups lemon-lime soda, chilled
2 cups ginger ale, chilled
1 orange, thinly sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 cups ice
Fresh rosemary sprigs, optional for garnish
Instructions
1. Chill the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, lemon-lime soda, and ginger ale before starting.
2. Pour the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and orange juice into a large punch bowl or pitcher.
3. Stir the juices together until fully combined.
4. Add the orange slices, lemon slices, and fresh cranberries.
5. Pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and ginger ale right before serving.
6. Stir gently to keep the punch fizzy.
7. Add ice and garnish with rosemary sprigs if desired.
8. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
Notes
Add the soda and ginger ale just before serving so the punch stays bubbly.
Use frozen cranberries or a large ice ring to keep the punch cold without watering it down too quickly.
For an adults-only version, add vodka, rum, or prosecco right before serving.
