Do I have to use Homemade Lemonade?

In short, no. If you don’t have a lemon tree then you can use store bought frozen lemonade concentrate. If you do have a lemon tree I highly recommend taking advantage of the fresh lemons and make your own lemonade. CLICK HERE TO GET THE RECIPE→MYER LEMON LEMONADE. The recipe makes 2 quarts the same amount as a can of frozen lemonade concentrate.

How to Make Sparkling Cranberry Lemonade

  • 2 quarts lemonade
  • 1 (64 ounce) bottle 100% cranberry juice
  • 1 (2 liter) bottle lemon lime soda ( I used Sprite)

How to Make an Ice Ring

Sparkling Cranberry Lemonade
NO MORE DILUTED PUNCH! Adding an 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 used lemonade. So, 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 Punch Bowl

PUNCH BOWL: You don’t have to have a punch bowl to be able to serve this delicious holiday punch. I used a large clear plastic bowl for this recipe. At times I also use 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.
