- 2 cups white grape juice, chilled
- 1 cup cranberry juice, chilled
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
- Optional: Ginger ale or lemon-lime soda for extra fizz
Instructions
- In a large punch bowl, gently combine the chilled sparkling apple cider, white grape juice, and cranberry juice.
- Add the sliced orange, fresh or frozen cranberries, and sliced Granny Smith apple to the punch bowl.
- If you want more fizz, slowly pour in ginger ale or lemon-lime soda just before serving. Stir very gently to combine without losing the bubbles.

Notes
- For a beautiful presentation, freeze some of the cranberries and apple slices into ice cubes ahead of time.
