Ingredients  

  • 1 orange sliced, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup cranberries plus more for garnish
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 cups cranberry juice Ocean Spray Pure Unsweetened 100% juice recommended
  • 2 cups orange juice Simply, Natalie's, or Uncle Matt's brands recommend
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice POM brand recommended
  • 2 cups lemon-lime soda Starry, Sprite, or 7Up recommended
  • 1 cup white rum optional
  • ice
  • fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the slices from 1 orange, 1 cup cranberries, and ½ cup pomegranate seeds to a large pitcher or punch bowl. If using a really gallon-sized bowl or dispenser, you can double the recipe.

Notes

  • I highly recommend chilling all of your ingredients before prepping for the best results.
  • Use Ocean Spray Pure Cranberry Juice for the best color and flavor!
  • This punch can be made ahead of time, but don't add the ice or soda until just before serving so as not to dilute or lose its fizz.
  • You can substitute the lemon-lime soda for ginger ale.
  • You can add lemon and lime slices as well.
  • Keep alcohol on the side for guests to add their own and keep the punch itself kid-friendly. 
  • I like white rum, spiced rum, whiskey, and vodka with this recipe.
