Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 12 cups cranberry juice or cranberry cocktail
- 6 cups orange juice
- 4 cups lemon lime soda
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
Garnishes
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 cup frozen cranberries
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- Mix the juices and vanilla: In a large punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, lemon lime soda, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors together.
- Add ice and garnish: Add ice cubes to chill the punch. Top the punch with the sliced orange and frozen cranberries to enhance both flavor and appearance. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use cranberry cocktail for a sweeter punch or pure cranberry juice for a tart flavor.
- For a fizzy punch without the vanilla extract, you can skip or substitute with a splash of rum or sparkling water for an adult version.
- Ensure the punch bowl is large enough to hold all ingredients plus ice for easy stirring and serving.
- Frozen cranberries not only garnish but help keep the punch chilled without diluting it.
