PINEAPPLE CRANBERRY PUNCH INSTRUCTIONS

To a large punch bowl or container add the pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and lemonade concentrate.
Stir to combine.
Slowly pour the ginger ale into the pineapple combo.

Add Fruit!

The best way of knowing what fresh fruit to add to your punch is written right in the recipe. This punch recipe calls for pineapple juice, cranberry juice and lemonade concentrate. That means any of those fruits or all of those fruits would be delicious floating around in your punch. TIP FOR ADDING FRUIT TO INDIVIDUAL PUNCH GLASSES: Add the fruit first, then ice, and then the punch. The fruit is pretty in the bottom of the glass and is trapped at the bottom to keep it out of the way of drinking the punch.

How to Make an Ice Ring

NO MORE DILUTED PUNCH! Adding a decorative ice ring to a big bowl of party punch, not only offers a pretty presentation but also adds a touch of fun. THE SECRET to a successful ice ring is….don’t use water. For this ring I made two punch recipes. I filled a tupperware with one recipe and served the other. That way when the ring starts to melt it will only add flavor and not dilute the punch. I also added slices of lemon and fresh cranberries. This rule applies to any punch. The liquid you add should be the same or a piece of the liquid in the punch. For this I used a jello mold. The mold is perfect because both ends come off. MAKE THE ICE RING AT LEAST THE NIGHT BEFORE THE PARTY. TO THAW: Run hot water around the sides and fill the side with the indention (smaller side—top) with water for a few minutes. The perfect addition to any Spring Party!

THE PUNCH BOWL

Most households don’t have a punch bowl. I don’t own an official punch bowl. Instead I use a large plastic bowl (for when I want to add an ice ring) or a large jar. You can also make the punch in a large container, stir it up and divide it into small pitchers or pour it into a drink dispenser.
