Equipment

large punch bowl or pitcher
long mixing spoon
measuring cups
Knife
Cutting board

Ingredients

4 cups cranberry juice
3 cups orange juice
3 cups pineapple juice
1/3 cup fresh lemon or lime juice
4 cups ginger ale or Sprite, chilled
1 orange, sliced
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1 cup pineapple chunks
1/2 cup maraschino cherries or fresh cherries
ice or frozen fruit, as needed

Instructions

Chill the cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and ginger ale or Sprite before mixing.
In a large punch bowl or pitcher, add cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and fresh lemon or lime juice.
Stir gently until the juices are combined.
Add sliced oranges, strawberries, pineapple chunks, and cherries.
Right before serving, pour in the chilled ginger ale or Sprite.
Stir once gently so the punch stays fizzy.
Serve cold over ice or frozen fruit.

Notes

For a fruit punch recipe with ginger ale, use ginger ale for a softer, lightly spiced flavor. For a fruit punch recipe with Sprite, use Sprite for a sweeter lemon-lime taste.

For a lighter version, replace half or all of the soda with sparkling water.

To make ahead, mix the juices up to 24 hours in advance. Add the fruit a few hours before serving and add the soda right before guests arrive.

Storage: Store leftover fruit punch in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The bubbles will fade, but the flavor will still taste fruity and refreshing.
