Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 64- ounce container Cranberry juice cocktail
  • 14- ounce container Pineapple juice
  • 1 container Frozen lemonade concentrate
  • 1 can Lemon-lime soda or ginger ale
  • Orange slices for garnish
  • Fresh cranberries for garnish
  • Ice for serving

Method
 

  1. Chill a large punch bowl for 30 minutes before preparing your punch.
  2. Pour cranberry juice and pineapple juice into the chilled punch bowl.
  3. Add the frozen lemonade concentrate and let it soften for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Stir until the lemonade is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform in color.
  5. Gently pour lemon-lime soda down the side of the bowl to retain carbonation, stirring lightly.
  6. Serve over ice and garnish with orange slices and fresh cranberries.

Notes

For best results, chill all ingredients before mixing and add soda just before serving to maintain fizz. Avoid adding ice to the punch bowl to prevent dilution—add ice directly to serving glasses instead. The punch can be made up to 24 hours ahead without soda, then refreshed right before serving.
