Ingredients for Apple Orchard Punch

  • 4 cups apple juice
  • Frozen Cranberry Juice Concentrate
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 2 liters chilled ginger ale
  • 1-2 large apples, thinly sliced

How to Make Apple Orchard Punch

  1. In a large punch bowl, combine 4 cups apple juice, 1 cup cranberry juice concentrate (diluted with 1 cup water), and 2 cups orange juice.
  2. Stir gently to combine all the juices.
  3. Slowly pour 2 liters of chilled ginger ale down the side of the bowl to maintain carbonation.
  4. Thinly slice 1-2 large apples vertically, creating whole apple slices for garnish.
  5. Carefully float the apple slices on top of the punch.
  6. For extra flair, add dried apple rings or orange slices.
  7. (Optional) Prepare a frozen juice ring by freezing a portion of the juice mixture in a bundt pan or ring mold for added visual appeal and cooling.
  8. (Optional) Enhance the flavor with a homemade spiced cinnamon syrup (recipe available online).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
