Ingredients

Fruit Punch
  • 4 cups (1 L / 1 qt) cranberry juice chilled (NOT light, Note 1, or cranberry pomegranate juice
  • 2 cups (500ml) ginger ale , chilled (not ginger beer, Note 2)
  • 4 cups (1 L / 1 qt) apple juice chilled (non alcoholic, Note 3, sparkling
  • 1 1/2 cups (375ml) white rum can omit, Bacardi brand
Add Ins (Mix and Match!)
  • 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 raspberry
  • ice , if desired (be mindful of dilution, consider using no-melt ice cube options)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  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.

Notes

  • Use classic cranberry juice, not light, low sugar, or pure cranberry juice varieties, which can be overly sour.
  • Choose ginger ale over ginger beer to keep a milder ginger flavor and retain the intended taste profile.
  • Sparkling apple juice provides effervescence; non-alcoholic or alcoholic apple cider can be substituted.
  • Adjust the amount of white rum to preference; adding orange liqueur like Cointreau can add a hint of orange flavor.
  • Select colorful fresh fruit and mint for garnish to enhance appearance and flavor balance.
  • Serve immediately after mixing to keep carbonation; consider no-melt ice cubes to avoid dilution.
