Ingredients:
- 1.5 Liters 100% cranberry juice (unsweetened)
- 1 Liter pomegranate juice
- 250 ml fresh orange juice, strained
- 120 ml simple syrup
- 1.5 Liters sparkling apple cider, chilled
- 500 ml club soda, chilled
- 2 cups fresh cranberries, frozen
- 2 large oranges, sliced into thin wheels
- 8-10 fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions:
- In a large glass punch bowl or pitcher, combine the unsweetened cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, strained orange juice, and simple syrup.
- Stir the mixture vigorously with a stainless steel spoon until the simple syrup is fully integrated into the juice base.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to ensure the liquid reaches a temperature of 38°F (3°C) for optimal carbonation retention.
- Immediately before serving, slowly pour in the chilled sparkling apple cider and club soda to create a staggered fizz.
- Add the frozen ice ring (if using), then float the frozen cranberries, orange wheels, and rosemary sprigs on the surface as aromatic rafts.
