Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cranberry juice, chilled
  • 2 cups orange juice, chilled
  • 1 bottle pineapple juice, chilled
  • 2 cups ginger ale, chilled
  • 1 bottle sparkling wine, chilled (or sparkling water for non-alcoholic)
Garnish & Serve
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Equipment

  • 1 Large pitcher (or punch bowl) 2–3 L capacity
  • 1 Large spoon or ladle
  • Glasses for serving

Method
 

  1. Chill everything. Make sure all juices, ginger ale, and sparkling wine are well-chilled.
  2. Combine juices. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, stir together cranberry, orange, and pineapple juice.
  3. Add bubbles. Just before serving, gently pour in ginger ale and sparkling wine (or sparkling water). Stir once to combine without losing fizz.
  4. Garnish. Add cranberries, orange and lime slices, and a few rosemary sprigs.
  5. Serve. Add ice to glasses (not the bowl to keep fizz longer) and ladle punch over ice.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Mix juices up to 24 hrs ahead; add bubbly just before serving.
  • Non-alcoholic: Replace sparkling wine with sparkling water or extra ginger ale.
  • Sweeter/less sweet: Adjust with extra ginger ale or a splash of simple syrup to taste.
  • Kid-friendly: Use only juices + ginger ale; skip alcohol entirely.
