How to Make Cranberry Cream Punch

  1. **Prepare Cranberry Ice Ring (Make Ahead):** Combine 1/2 cup cranberry juice cocktail and 1/2 cup water in a 1 1/2-quart ring mold.
  2. Arrange 1/2 cup fresh cranberries and 2 lime slices (or a few mint sprigs) in the mold. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until partially frozen.
  3. Add the remaining 3 cups of cranberry juice cocktail to the mold. Freeze overnight, or until completely solid.
  4. **Make the Punch:** In a large punch bowl, whisk together 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (12 ounce) can cranberry juice concentrate (not from concentrate), and 1 cup water until well combined.
  5. **Just Before Serving:** Gently add 4 cups chilled club soda or ginger ale to the punch bowl.
  6. Carefully remove the cranberry ice ring from the mold and place it in the punch bowl.
  7. Serve immediately in stemmed wine glasses. Garnish with extra cranberries or lime wedges, if desired.
