Sparkling Cranberry Punch

Serves: 10-12
Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups cranberry juice (unsweetened or sweetened, depending on your preference)
  • 2 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible)

  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine cranberry juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice. Stir well to mix.
