Punch Base
  • 2 cups cranberry juice cocktail chilled
  • 2 cups pink lemonade chilled
  • 4 cups sparkling water or ginger ale chilled
Serving & Garnish
  • 4 cups ice cubes for glasses
  • 2 whole oranges sliced into thin wheels

Equipment

  • Stemless wine glasses
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large Pitcher

Method
 

  1. Wash the oranges and slice them into thin, even wheels. Cut a small slit halfway through each slice for garnishing.
  2. Set out stemless wine glasses and fill each about halfway with fresh ice cubes.
  3. In a large pitcher, mix together the chilled cranberry juice cocktail and pink lemonade.
  4. Pour the juice mixture over the ice, filling each glass about halfway.
  5. Top off each glass with chilled sparkling water or ginger ale to add carbonation.
  6. Slide an orange wheel onto the rim of each glass using the pre-cut slit.
  7. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.

Notes

Do not add the sparkling water or ginger ale to the pitcher ahead of time, or it will go flat. Always top off individual glasses right before serving.
