How to Make Cranberry Sparkle

  1. In a medium bowl, beat 1 (14-ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce until completely smooth using a hand mixer or whisk.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.
  3. Pour the cranberry mixture into a 2-quart pitcher or punch bowl filled with ice.
  4. Gently pour in 2 liters of chilled ginger ale, stirring gently to combine. Avoid over-stirring to preserve carbonation.
  5. Garnish with fresh cranberries and orange slices (optional) before serving immediately.
