Instructions

Step 2: Taste and adjust sweetness by adding simple syrup if needed. Start with 1/4 cup and add more gradually.
Step 3: Gently stir to combine. Be careful not to stir too vigorously to maintain the carbonation.
Step 4: Add ice to the punch bowl or dispenser just before serving.

Step 5: Garnish with orange slices, cranberry skewers, and rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.

Tips & Variations

Use freshly squeezed juices for the best flavor and brightness.

For a sparkling twist without alcohol, substitute ginger ale with sparkling water or club soda.
Add a splash of pomegranate juice for deeper color and flavor.
Make cranberry skewers by threading fresh cranberries onto small wooden picks for easy garnish.

Storage

Store any leftover punch in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir gently before serving again. For best carbonation, add fresh ginger ale or sparkling grape juice just before serving if the fizz has diminished.

How to Serve
