Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups Orange Sherbet
- 64 ounces Cranberry Juice Cocktail (chilled)
- 2 liters Ginger Ale Soda (chilled; can substitute with lemon-lime soda)
- 2 Fresh Oranges (sliced; 1 used in punch, extras for garnish)
- 1 cup Fresh Cranberries (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Slice Oranges: Slice the 2 fresh oranges evenly. Reserve some slices for garnishing later and use the rest in the punch bowl.
- Add Sherbet: Place 3 1/2 to 4 cups of orange sherbet into a large punch bowl. The sherbet will provide a creamy texture and rich orange flavor to the punch.
- Pour Cranberry Juice: Pour 64 ounces of chilled cranberry juice cocktail into the bowl with the sherbet, blending the tart and sweet notes perfectly.
- Add Ginger Ale: Slowly add 2 liters of chilled ginger ale soda to the punch bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing carbonation.
- Garnish Punch: Add 1 cup of fresh cranberries and several orange slices directly into the punch bowl for festive color and flavor enhancement.
- Prepare Additional Garnishes: Set out small plates or bowls with extra orange slices and cranberries for guests to customize their glasses as they like.
Notes
- You can substitute lemon-lime soda if ginger ale is unavailable, but ginger ale adds a slight spiciness that complements the punch.
- For a more vibrant appearance, use fresh, firm cranberries to ensure they don’t sink quickly.
- This punch is best served immediately to enjoy the sherbet’s creamy texture and the soda’s fizz.
- Make sure all liquid ingredients are well chilled before combining to keep the punch cold longer without ice dilution.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of freshly squeezed lime juice or a handful of mint leaves as garnish.
