Frosted Candy Christmas Punch

Ingredients

• 2 cups cranberry juice
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1 cup ginger ale or sparkling water (for fizz)
• Ice cubes (optional, for chilling)
• Fresh cranberries and orange slices (for garnish, optional)
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice. Stir gently to combine the juices. These three juices bring a balance of sweetness and tartness, creating a well-rounded, fruity base for the punch.
2. Just before serving, add the ginger ale or sparkling water to the juice mixture. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, sparkling water adds a light, effervescent fizz, while ginger ale brings a bit of sweetness and spice. Adjust the amount of ginger ale or sparkling water to suit your taste, depending on how fizzy and sweet you want the punch to be.
3. If desired, add ice cubes to the punch to chill it. You can also make ice cubes in advance using the cranberry juice or pineapple juice to prevent the punch from being diluted as the ice melts. For a more festive touch, freeze cranberries inside the ice cubes for added color.
