How to Make Pineapple Ginger Punch With Citrus Ice Cubes

  1. **Citrus Ice Cubes:** Fill each compartment of an ice cube tray with 1/4 cup of chopped citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes – mix and match!). Top with water and freeze solid (at least 4 hours).
  2. **Prepare Pineapple Ginger Mixture:** In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups of pineapple juice, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh ginger (about 2 inches of ginger root), and 1/4 cup of lime juice.
  3. **Chill:** Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. **Strain:** Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the ginger and any pulp. Discard the solids.
  5. **Add Ginger Ale:** Gently stir in 1 (12-ounce) bottle of chilled ginger ale.
  6. **Serve:** Pour the punch over the citrus ice cubes into chilled glasses.
  7. **Garnish:** Garnish with skewers of orange slices and extra fresh mint (optional) for an elegant touch.
  8. **Enjoy:** Each serving is approximately 3/4 cup.
