Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 liters ginger ale
  • 6 cups cranberry juice or pomegranate cranberry juice*
  • 3 cups pineapple juice**
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • 1 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries (optional)
  • 2 fresh limes sliced (optional)
  • Ice

Method
 

  1. In a large beverage dispenser, combine the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and almond extract. Stir thoroughly to blend the flavors evenly.
  2. Slowly pour in the ginger ale, giving the mixture a gentle stir to preserve the carbonation. For a festive touch, add fresh cranberries and lime slices to the drink dispenser.
  3. Top with plenty of ice to keep the punch refreshingly chilled. Serve immediately for the best flavor and fizz, as the ginger ale will gradually lose its effervescence over time.

Notes

  • The Christmas Punch used here is not pure cranberry juice; it is a 100% juice blend that includes other juices like grape, apple, and pear.
  • Pure cranberry juice would be too tart for this recipe; consider using a brand like Ocean Spray.
  • If possible, chill the soda and juices in the refrigerator beforehand or store them in a cool (but not freezing) location, such as a garage.
  • Chilling the ingredients ahead of time reduces the need for excessive ice, preventing dilution of the punch.
