Ingredients

Scale

Base 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)

Garnishes

  • 2 Fresh Oranges, sliced (1 for punch, extras for garnish)
  • 1 cup Fresh Cranberries (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oranges: Slice 2 fresh oranges into thin rounds. Reserve some slices for garnish, and set the rest aside for the punch bowl.
  2. Add Sherbet: Scoop 3 1/2 to 4 cups of orange sherbet into a large punch bowl, forming a creamy base for the drink.
  3. Pour Cranberry Juice: Pour 64 ounces of chilled cranberry juice cocktail over the sherbet in the punch bowl, mixing gently to start combining the flavors.
  4. Add Ginger Ale: Slowly add 2 liters of chilled ginger ale soda to the punch bowl. Stir gently to mix without losing too much fizz.
  5. Garnish Punch: Add 1 cup of fresh cranberries and several orange slices into the punch bowl to enhance the festive look and flavor.
  6. Serve with Extras: Place additional orange slices and cranberries on small plates or bowls nearby so guests can customize their glasses with extra garnishes if desired.

Notes

  • For a tart twist, substitute lemon-lime soda instead of ginger ale.
  • Keep all ingredients chilled before assembling for the best refreshing taste.
  • You can prepare the punch up to 1 hour ahead and keep it refrigerated; add soda and garnishes just before serving to maintain fizz and freshness.
  • This recipe easily serves 12-15 guests depending on serving size.
