Instructions

  1. Prepare the Punch Base:
    • In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice. Stir to mix well.
  2. Add the Fizz:
    • Just before serving, slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda or ginger ale to keep the carbonation.

    • Serve the punch in glasses filled with ice, and garnish each glass with additional fruit or a sprig of rosemary for decoration.

Notes

  • For a kid-friendly option, skip the alcohol and use sparkling cider or soda.
  • Freeze cranberries and slices of fruit into an ice ring or large ice cubes for a decorative and functional garnish.
  • Adjust the sweetness by using a diet soda or ginger ale if preferred.
