Instructions

Mix the Juices: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to ensure all flavors are fully incorporated.
Add Ice: Add ice cubes to the mixture and stir again to chill the punch thoroughly without diluting it too quickly.
Incorporate the Ginger Ale: Just before serving, gently pour in the chilled ginger ale or lemon-lime soda and stir carefully to retain the carbonation.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish the punch with fresh cranberries, orange slices, and lime slices. Serve immediately in glasses filled with ice to keep the drink cool and refreshing.

Notes

For an alcoholic version, add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of vodka or rum to the punch.
To make a frozen punch, blend the juice base with ice until smooth.
Prepare the juice base a day ahead and refrigerate; add the ginger ale just before serving to keep the fizz intact.
