Ingredients
Scale
Juices and Extract
- 6 cups Cranberry-Pomegranate juice (chilled)
- 3 cups Pineapple juice (chilled)
- 1 tablespoon Almond extract
Carbonated and Alcoholic Components
- 2 liters Ginger ale (chilled)
- 750 ml bottle sparkling wine (such as Prosecco, chilled)
Garnishes
- 2 cups Frozen cranberries
- 2 small Fresh limes (sliced)
Instructions
- Combine Juices: Pour the chilled cranberry-pomegranate juice, pineapple juice, and almond extract into a large punch bowl or drink dispenser filled with ice. Mix thoroughly to blend the flavors.
- Add Sparkling Ingredients: Gently pour in the chilled Prosecco and ginger ale. Stir gently to combine without losing the carbonation.
- Garnish: Top the punch with frozen cranberries and fresh lime slices. These not only add flavor but also visually enhance the presentation.
- Serve: Ladle the punch into individual glasses and enjoy immediately for the best taste and fizz.
Notes
- Keep all liquids well chilled before mixing to maintain the punch’s refreshing quality.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the sparkling wine and increase the ginger ale or add sparkling water.
- Frozen cranberries act as a natural ice cube, keeping the punch cold without diluting the flavor.
- Adjust almond extract carefully as it has a strong flavor; 1 tablespoon is balanced for this volume of punch.
- Serve within a few hours of preparation to enjoy optimal carbonation and freshness.
