Ingredients
Juices and Concentrates
- 1 can (12 ounces) frozen cranberry juice concentrate
- 1 can (12 ounces) frozen grape juice concentrate
- 1 can (12 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate
- 6 cups white grapefruit juice
- 1 can (46 ounces) unsweetened pineapple juice
- 4 cups cranberry-raspberry juice
- 4 cups cranberry-apple juice
Soda and Garnish
- 4 cups chilled raspberry or cherry soda
- Ice, as needed
- Lemon zest strips or fresh cranberries for garnish
Instructions
- Thaw Juice Concentrates: Place the frozen cranberry, grape, and lemonade juice concentrates into a large 7-quart or bigger container. Let them stand at room temperature until they are partially thawed to make stirring easier.
- Combine Juices: Stir in the white grapefruit juice, unsweetened pineapple juice, cranberry-raspberry juice, and cranberry-apple juice thoroughly with the partially thawed concentrates until the mixture is well blended.
- Serve Punch: When ready to serve, stir the chilled raspberry or cherry soda into the juice mixture to add fizz.
- Serve Over Ice: Pour the punch over ice in glasses to keep it refreshingly cold.
- Garnish: If desired, garnish each glass or the punch bowl with lemon zest strips or fresh cranberries for a festive touch.
Notes
- Use a large container to ensure there is enough room for mixing all the juices without spilling.
- Partial thawing of concentrates is key for easier mixing; do not fully melt.
- Adjust the amount of soda to your preferred level of fizziness.
- For a non-fizzy option, omit the soda and serve chilled.
- This punch serves approximately 24 cups, making it suitable for parties or large groups.
