Hello everyone! I hope that you had a good Christmas, and that your new year is starting off well. I’m personally thrilled we get a tad more daylight each day. I’ve never been keen on pitch black skies at 5pm! So, a toast to that! And, if you need a fruity, slightly tart, little bit bubbly drink, I’ve got just the thing for you. The ingredients are pretty simple, and you can garnish it however you like. We made it on Christmas Eve, and I used lemon, orange, and lime slices. The recipe calls for cranberries as well, but we skipped those. Ready? The original recipe is here, over at this blog, but I’ve copied it here for you.
Cranberry Punch
Ingredients
- 1 liter ginger ale*
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- ½ cup fresh cranberries
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 lime, thinly sliced
Instructions
-
In a large pitcher, whisk together ginger ale, pineapple juice and cranberry juice.
- Pour over sliced fruit, if desired.
That’s it! So simple! I like how you can customize it as well. My kids liked it a little sweeter, so they added more pineapple juice. Their grandmother liked it more tart, so she added a little more cranberry.
If you make it yourself, I hope you’ll enjoy it!

My daughter made something similar to this for our Christmas gathering. She used orange juice instead of pineapple juice. I like the idea of pineapple juice something I hadn’t thought of using with cranberry juice.
I bet that tasted nice with the orange juice!
This sounds like a refreshing drink to toast the New Year. Would be really good in the summer, too.
Ohh, yes, summer would be great for this.
Some wonderful ideas this week thanks
