This nostalgic beverage will bring you back in time, and as always, punch is a crowd pleaser!
24 oz lemon-lime soda (we used Ore Dock Brewing Co.’s Spring Street Soda)
2 C pure cranberry juice
2 C orange juice
1 pint fresh cranberries
2 oranges, cut into slices
Rosemary sprigs and sugared cranberries for garnish.
In preparation, freeze cranberries and chill soda and juice. You want this punch as cold as you can get it, and the frozen cranberries will serve as ice without watering it down.
Mix all ingredients in a punch bowl, adding in the soda last. Stir gently to preserve the car- bonation.
This recipe is highly customizable! Try ginger kombucha or ginger ale instead of lemon-lime soda. Add in pomegranate juice for more color and flavor. Add in a little maple syrup or cranberry simple syrup if you like it sweeter. You can also add in alcohol – vodka, white rum, gin, bourbon, or even a bubbly Prosecco would pair nicely.
