Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (960 ml) 100% Cranberry Juice (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Ginger Beer (e.g., Fever-Tree or Q Mixers)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Fresh Orange Juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Chilled Sparkling Water or Club Soda
  • 1 cup (150 g) Frozen Cranberries
  • 1 Orange, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 Lime, thinly sliced into rounds
  • Fresh Mint Sprigs (a handful)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garnishes: Wash oranges, limes, and mint. Thinly slice 1 orange and 1 lime into rounds. Pick a handful of fresh mint leaves from the stems. Gently slap the mint leaves between your palms to release their oils.
  2. Combine the juices: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour in 4 cups of cranberry juice, 1 cup of fresh orange juice, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to combine.
  3. Add the fizz: Just before serving, slowly pour in 2 cups of ginger beer and 2 cups of chilled sparkling water. Give it one very gentle stir. Do not over-stir.
  4. Add the frozen fruit: Gently drop in 1 cup of frozen cranberries. Add the orange and lime slices directly into the liquid.
  5. Garnish and serve: Finish by adding fresh mint sprigs. Serve immediately in ice-filled glasses or directly from the punch bowl. Best enjoyed within the first hour.

Notes

Chill all ingredients beforehand to prevent dilution. Add the fizzy ingredients last to preserve carbonation. For a cocktail, add 1 to 1.5 cups of vodka, gin, or white rum to the juice base before adding sparkling water. The juice base can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
