Knife Set
Large Pitcher
Punch Bowl

Ingredients

1 (11-ounce) bottle orange juice about 1 ⅓ cups
2 cups low-sugar cranberry juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1 small cinnamon stick
1 cup ginger ale
2 cups sparkling water plus more to taste
Diced apple, lemon slices and fresh cranberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a large pitcher or punch bowl, stir together the orange juice, cranberry juice and pineapple juice. Add the cinnamon stick.
Right before serving, pour in the ginger ale and 2 cups of sparkling water and stir gently.
Taste and add more sparkling water if you'd like the punch less sweet.
Garnish with diced apple, lemon slices and cranberries, if using, and serve right away.

Notes

Makes about 7 ⅓ cups.
Chill the juices, ginger ale and sparkling water before you start so the punch is cold from the first glass.
To make ahead, mix the juice base with the cinnamon stick and keep it covered in the fridge. Add the ginger ale and sparkling water right before serving.
Skip regular ice so the punch doesn't get watered down. Freeze some of the juice blend into ice cubes instead.
Set out extra sparkling water so guests can make their glass less sweet.
The juice base keeps in the fridge for 5 to 7 days, or 2 to 3 days with freshly squeezed juice.
