Pro tip: Use a mix of different coloured fruits for visual appeal.
Combine the Juices
In a large punch bowl, mix the cranberry juice and orange juice. Stir well to combine.
Pro tip: Chill the juices beforehand to keep the punch cold.
Add the Spices
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.

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.
Serve
Serve the punch in cups over ice, if desired. Garnish with extra fruit slices or mint leaves for presentation.
Pro tip: Use clear cups to show off the punch's vibrant colours.
