Ingredients
1 orange, sliced (plus more for garnish)
1 cup cranberries (plus more for garnish)
½ cup pomegranate seeds
2 cups cranberry juice (Ocean Spray Pure 100% recommended)
2 cups orange juice (Simply, Natalie’s, or Uncle Matt’s recommended)
1 cup pomegranate juice (POM brand recommended)
2 cups lemon-lime soda (7UP, Sprite, or Starry recommended)
1 cup white rum (optional)
Ice
Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
1. Combine orange slices, cranberries, and pomegranate seeds in a large pitcher or punch bowl.
2. Add cranberry juice, orange juice, and pomegranate juice, stirring to combine.
3. Pour in lemon-lime soda just before serving to preserve fizz.
4. If using alcohol, stir in white rum or your preferred liquor.
5. Serve over ice and garnish with rosemary, extra fruit slices, or festive ice cubes.
Notes
Chill all ingredients before assembling to keep punch cold and flavorful.
Do not add soda or ice until right before serving to prevent dilution and loss of carbonation.
Ginger ale can be used instead of lemon-lime soda.
Add lemon or lime slices for variety.
Keep alcohol separate so guests can spike their own drinks if desired.
Preferred alcohols include white rum, spiced rum, vodka, whiskey, or Prosecco.
