Print Recipe

A quick and easy non-alcoholic holiday punch made with ginger ale, cranberry juice, apple juice, and orange juice. Perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy night in, this refreshing drink comes together in under five minutes with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (950 ml) ginger ale, chilled
  • 2 cups (475 ml) unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) 100% cranberry juice
  • ½ cup (120 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 cup (100 g) fresh cranberries, washed
  • 1 large orange, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced (optional, Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended)
  • Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Chill all juices and ginger ale thoroughly before starting.
  2. Wash fresh cranberries and pick out any soft or bruised ones. Slice orange into thin rounds (about ¼ inch / 6 mm thick). If using apple slices, toss them in a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Fill a large pitcher or punch bowl with ice to about one-third full.
  4. Pour in apple juice (2 cups / 475 ml), cranberry juice (1 cup / 240 ml), and orange juice (½ cup / 120 ml). Stir gently to combine.
  5. Slowly pour in chilled ginger ale (4 cups / 950 ml) to preserve carbonation. Stir gently with a few swirls.
  6. Add fresh cranberries, orange slices, and apple slices. If using, add cinnamon sticks or star anise.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or ginger flavor as desired.
  8. Serve immediately in glasses filled with ice, garnishing each glass with fruit and a sprig of fresh mint.

Notes

For best results, chill all ingredients overnight. Add ginger ale at the last minute to keep it fizzy. For parties, make an ice ring with cranberries and orange slices in a bundt pan. Apple slices may brown if left in punch for more than an hour—add just before serving or skip. Leftover juice mixture (without ginger ale and garnishes) can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; add fresh ginger ale and garnishes when ready to serve.
