Perfect punch for Thanksgiving. Thx !

P.S. does anyone know if a pkg of cranberries would float or sink (for garnish)? I've never used/purchased real cranberries. Orange slices would look pretty and festive too.

i am not sure but i think that they would sink. you can try some in a glass of water to see what happens.

I was thinking about you today @shortbreadlover...glad to see your post and yes this is an amazing drink. I purchased the ingredients today and discovered there is a sprite/cranberry combo drink so I am going to try it...I also add sherbet to this mix.

there is also a refreshing canada dry cranberry gingerale. it would work well also.

POM pomegranate juice would be delicious also.

The floating cranberries with orange slices will make a wonderful punch garnish presentation to these beverage recipes. 👍🏼

I used to make punch with orange and cranberry juice, then add ginger ale. It all sounds good.

Cranberries float. That's how they harvest them. flood the bog and scoop the berries off the surface. Ripe berries also bounce.

another suggestion......

freeze the cranberry juice in ice cube trays. you can do a combination of red cranberry and white cranberry if you like. place cubes in glasses and then top with cold sprite/7up/gingerale. garnish with the sugared cranberries on top.

My mother used to make this punch around the holidays:

1 cup cranberries

1/3 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

4 cups chilled apple cider (I prefer fresh-pressed from the produce department)

2 cups chilled ginger ale

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 cups chilled cranberry juice

Simmer cranberries and water in saucepan until berries split. Stir in sugar off heat. Cool to room temperature. Pour into 2-quart pitcher and mix in apple cider, ginger ale, lemon and cranberry juices. Best served over crushed ice.
