Celebration Fruit Punch!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups (1 L / 1 qt) cranberry juice or cranberry pomegranate juice, chilled (NOT light, Note 1)
  • 2 cups (500ml) ginger ale, chilled (not ginger beer, Note 2)
  • 4 cups (1 L / 1 qt) sparkling apple juice, chilled (non alcoholic, Note 3)
  • 1 1/2 cups (375ml) white rum (Bacardi) (can omit)
  • 1 orange, halved, sliced then halved again
  • 1 lemon, small, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup strawberries, halved or quartered
  • 3/4 cup mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • Ice, if desired (be mindful of dilution, consider using no-melt ice cube options)

Steps

  1. Pour Fruit Punch ingredients into a large jug, punch bowl or, as I did, trifle dish!!
  2. .Add the fruit in, stir gently (don't agitate too much)
  3. Serve immediately, using a ladle or mug to scoop and serve. To keep fizz alive for longer, best to make this just prior to serving.
