Ingredients

• 2 (2-quart) bottles chilled cranberry juice (no-sugar-added but sweetened with fruit juice)
• 1 (1-liter) bottle chilled club soda
• 6 cups orange juice
• Oranges, thinly sliced for garnish
• Fresh cranberries for garnish

Equipment

• Large punch bowl

Preparation

1. Combine cranberry juice, soda and orange juice in a large punch bowl. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.

2. When ready to serve, float orange slices and cranberries in the punch.

Tips 

• Plan ahead: we recommend covering and chilling the punch for at least 4 hours. For more carbonation, stir in the chilled club soda right before serving.
• This punch also would work well with pomegranate or cherry juice. Make sure to look for 100% juice on the label.
• Feel free to use frozen cranberries instead of fresh ones, which will keep the punch chilled when serving.
