How to Make Holiday Punch Cheers

  1. In a large punch bowl or stockpot, combine 2 liters ginger ale, 1 (46 ounce) can pineapple juice, 1 (12 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, 1 cup cranberry juice, 1/2 cup lime juice, and 1/2 cup sugar.
  2. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Add 1/2 of the sliced oranges and about 4 cups of ice to the punch bowl.
  4. Add 1/2 of the desired amount of rum (optional). Stir gently to combine.
  5. To serve, fill glasses with ice. Garnish each glass with a maraschino cherry and a cinnamon stick.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
