When's the last time you attended a party where they served punch? If you take a look at vintage entertaining cookbooks, they all have variations of recipes for punch. They were prominently displayed as a centerpiece. Usually with decorative ice cubes or mounds of floating sherbert. Maybe punch has fallen by the wayside at parties, but I say bring the punch back!
Personally, I like my punch spiked while others may prefer virgin punch. Either way, this recipe is sure to please. I really love making this punch since it only has three – that’s right THREE ingredients! If you’re like me and want to spike your punch then technically there are four… but who’s counting. I like to serve the punch without the alcohol and have a bottle of coconut flavored rum next to it for anyone who wants the option to spike their own punch.
Here's what you'll need.
One carton of orange juice, a 64 oz. bottle of cranberry juice cocktail and a 2 liter bottle of lemon-lime soda. Feel free to get creative and use any cranberry juice cocktail blend that you like. I like to use cranberry-pomegranate, but the cranberry-blueberry is also amazing.
Start by mixing the juices in a large container, then add the lemon-lime soda. Transfer the mixture to a punch bowl or a beverage dispenser with a spigot, whatever you're using to display the punch. You could add some sliced fruit for some color or float a ring of ice with frozen fruit.
Remember to set a couple bottles of booze next to the punch so your guests have the option for a non-alcoholic punch or something with more of a zing. Time to enjoy!
