Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups unsweetened cranberry juice, chilled
- 2 cups 100% pomegranate juice, chilled
- 1 liter ginger ale or sparkling apple cider, chilled
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)
- 1 large orange, thinly sliced into rounds
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)
- Large ice cubes or an ice ring
Instructions
- In a large punch bowl or a 3-quart pitcher, pour in the chilled cranberry juice and the pomegranate juice. Stir gently with a long-handled spoon to ensure the flavors are well blended. If you are preparing this in advance, you can stop here and keep the juice mixture in the refrigerator.
- Drop in the fresh cranberries, pomegranate arils, and the orange slices. These fruits will not only add flavor as they sit but also act as a beautiful decoration for the punch. If you are using frozen cranberries, they will help keep the drink cold without diluting it.
- Just before you are ready to serve your guests, slowly pour in the chilled ginger ale or sparkling apple cider. Stir very gently once or twice to combine the liquids while preserving as much carbonation as possible. This step ensures the punch is fizzy and refreshing when it hits the glasses.
- Add plenty of ice to the bowl or individual glasses. For an extra festive touch, tuck a few sprigs of fresh rosemary into the punch bowl or use them as stirrers in each glass. Serve immediately while the bubbles are active.
