Thanksgiving Punch
A fun and festive dirnk perfect for Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Punch is simple and combines holiday flaovr from spiced apple cider to cranberry juice. A kid friendly, non-alcoholic drink.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups cranberry juice cocktail see note 1
- 2 ½ cups orange juice we recommend 100%
- 1 ½ cup apple cider can use spiced, see note 2
- 4 cups ginger ale or ginger beer, see note 3
- ice optional, for serving
- cranberries, sliced oranges or apples optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Start with all beverages chilled, if possible. Place cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice, apple cider and lemon juice together in a large pitcher. Stir to combine. Add the ginger ale and give a gentle stir or 2 to combine. Add ice and top with garnishes if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This recipe was not tested with 100% cranberry juice, which is extremely tart. It is made to be used with a classic cranberry juice cocktail.
- For a little bit of 'cinnamon spice' flavor, make this with spiced apple cider. 80% of our taste testers preferred this with regular apple cider, but also felt it was still good with the spiced.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, we love making this with ginger beer instead of ginger ale. It gives it a bit of a ginger kick and is delicious.
- For a party, plan on about 1.5 cups per person. This recipe makes about 12 cups, and serves 8 people. For a large punch bowl and a larger gathering, make a double or even triple batch.
