Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup ginger ale
- Ice cubes
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cranberry-Ginger Mixture
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh cranberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Step 2: Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and release their juice.
Step 3: Extract the Juice
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Once cooled, press the mixture through a sieve to extract the juice, discarding the solids left behind.
Step 4: Combine the Juices
In a large pitcher, pour in the cranberry-ginger syrup and add 2 cups of cranberry juice and 1 cup of orange juice. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Step 5: Add the Ginger Ale
Just before serving, gently add 1 cup of ginger ale to the pitcher and stir carefully to keep the fizz.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Serve the punch in glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish each glass with orange slices and fresh mint leaves for a vibrant finish.
Notes
Tip for Serving
Adjust the amount of ginger ale based on your preference for sweetness and fizziness.
Storage Advice
Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator, but it is best enjoyed fresh to retain the bubbles from the ginger ale.
Variation Suggestions
Feel free to experiment with adding other fruit juices or garnishes, such as pomegranate seeds or cucumber slices, for a unique twist!
