Ingredients
Fruit and Juice Base
- 2 cups 100% unsweetened apple juice
- 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 can (12-1/2 oz / 341 mL) orange juice concentrate, partially thawed
- 2 bottles (each 40 oz / 1.18 L) cranberry cocktail
Carbonation
- 2 bottles (each 750 mL) soda water
Instructions
- Prepare the frozen fruit ring: Pour the unsweetened apple juice and raspberries into a 4-cup (1 L) ring mold or bowl. Place it in the freezer and let it freeze completely until ready to serve. This will create a beautiful frozen fruity ring to float in the punch.
- Mix the punch base: When ready to serve, combine the partially thawed orange juice concentrate with the cranberry cocktail in a large punch bowl or pitcher. Stir gently to mix the flavors well.
- Add soda water and assemble: Pour in the soda water into the fruit juice mixture and gently stir to combine, maintaining the carbonation. Place the frozen apple juice-raspberry ring in the punch bowl so it floats atop the punch. Serve immediately while cold and refreshing.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen raspberries for the frozen ring; frozen raspberries will help freeze faster.
- For an extra touch, garnish the punch bowl with fresh mint leaves or additional whole raspberries.
- Make sure the orange juice concentrate is partially thawed to allow easy mixing with other liquids.
- This punch can be made a few hours in advance but add soda water just before serving to retain fizz.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing unsweetened or sweetened cranberry cocktail according to preference.
