Combine the Juices

In a large punch bowl, mix the cranberry juice and orange juice. Stir well to combine.

Add the cinnamon sticks and cloves to the juice mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavours.

Pro tip: Adjust the spice level to your preference by altering the infusion time.

Add the Fruits

Add the prepared fruit mixture to the punch bowl. Stir gently to distribute the fruits evenly.

Pro tip: Ensure fruits are well-drained if using canned options.

Add Sparkling Water

Just before serving, pour in the chilled sparkling water. Stir gently to mix without losing the fizz.

Pro tip: For a sweeter punch, substitute some of the sparkling water with ginger ale.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this punch in a large, clear punch bowl to showcase its vibrant colours. Pair it with light appetizers or festive cookies to complement its fruity flavours. This punch can be made ahead of time by preparing the fruit mixture and chilling it in the fridge. Just add the sparkling water right before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to two days, but it's best enjoyed fresh.
