Description
A chilled nonalcoholic pitcher punch of cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice, lime juice and ginger ale.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Chilled pasteurized cranberry juice cocktail
- 3 cups Chilled pasteurized orange juice
- 3 cups Chilled nonalcoholic ginger ale
- 1/4 cup Fresh lime juice
- 1 whole Orange, scrubbed and sliced thinly for bowl garnish
Instructions
- Chill the packaged juices and ginger ale in advance according to their labels; wash and thinly slice one orange. Use a clean pitcher or punch bowl of at least 3-quart capacity.
- Shortly before serving, stir the chilled cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice and 1/4 cup fresh lime juice together. Taste a small sample to record whether the chosen brands need a revised balance.
- Pour in the cold, nonalcoholic ginger ale and stir once or twice gently. Float the orange slices; do not add whole small berries that guests may inadvertently swallow.
- Serve promptly in approximately ten 1-cup portions without ice; measure the actual yield. If serving over ice, add ice to glasses rather than diluting the whole bowl unless that variation is tested.
- Keep remaining juice punch cold. Refrigerate promptly, and do not present a defizzed stored batch as though it retained fresh bubbles.
