How to Make Non Alcoholic Punch

It's easy to make this recipe in advance, but only takes seconds to make! It's best to add Ginger Ale just before serving as you don't want to lose the fizzy sparkle.

1. Pour Cranberry juice and Ginger Ale in a large punch bowl.
2. Add the frozen cranberries, orange slices and ice.
3. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprig and fruit on the glass rim.

Fruit Juices for Party Punch

There are many variations of juices that you can add to fruit punches. Mixing in citrus fruit juice add flavors, however they will make a cloudy punch. This Cranberry Punch is most festive when other citrus juices are not mixed in and it's served clear and sparkly.

For the perfect amount of citrus essence, slice an orange and add a few slices into the punch bowl. Don't take away from the hero of this recipe, the cranberry! However, if you want to add fruit juices (instead of slices), here are some popular suggestions.

• Orange Juice
• Pineapple Juice
• Grapefruit Juice
• Raspberry Juice
• Pomegranate Juice
• Apple Juice

Christmas Punch for a Crowd

How much does this punch recipe make? It's perfect for a crowd of people for a dinner party, baby shower, or even an office party. It makes a gallon of punch (4 litres), which serves about 10 people. Of course, that depends on how much they drink! A 1:1 ratio of cranberry and ginger ale makes it easy to add more or less to your punch bowl.
