Ingredients

Scale

Spices

  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 5 allspice berries
  • 3 whole cloves

Juices

  • 3 cups apple cider
  • 2 cups cranberry juice
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 1½ cups pomegranate juice
  • 1½ cups pineapple juice

Other

  • 2 cups lemon-lime soda
  • 1 orange, sliced for garnish
  • 1 cup cranberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the spices and juices: Add the cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, cloves, apple cider, cranberry juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, and pineapple juice into a large punch bowl. Stir gently to mix the flavors.
  2. Add lemon-lime soda and garnish: Just before serving, pour the lemon-lime soda over the juice and spice mixture. Add the orange slices and fresh cranberries on top to garnish, enhancing both the appearance and flavor.
  3. Serve: Use a ladle to serve the punch over ice in individual glasses, allowing guests to enjoy the refreshing and festive beverage chilled.

Notes

  • This punch is best served immediately after adding the soda to retain carbonation.
  • For a warmer version, gently heat the juice mixture with spices before adding the soda and garnishes.
  • Can be adapted by adding your favorite sparkling water instead of lemon-lime soda for fewer calories.
  • Make sure to remove the whole spices before serving if preferred, although they are edible.
