Ingredients

Scale
- 4 cups chilled cranberry juice blend
- 2 cups chilled apple juice
- 2 cups chilled sparkling water
- Washed orange slices, optional garnish
- Frozen cranberries, optional garnish
- Ice for serving, optional
Instructions
- Chill the cranberry juice blend and apple juice before beginning.
- Pour the cranberry juice blend and apple juice into a large, clean pitcher and stir to combine. Taste before adding any sweetener because cranberry juice blends vary in sweetness.
- Just before serving, add the chilled sparkling water and stir gently to retain the bubbles.
- Add washed orange slices or a few frozen cranberries if desired, and serve over ice in individual glasses.
- Refrigerate unused punch promptly and keep it chilled. The carbonation will gradually fade after mixing.
Notes
- For a SodaStream, carbonate only plain cold water first; add the carbonated water to the punch afterward. Never carbonate juice or a flavored mixture in a machine intended for water only.
- To make ahead, combine the juices and refrigerate; add the sparkling water just before guests arrive.
- Use pasteurized, safely stored juice. Keep perishable punch refrigerated and do not save punch that has been left at room temperature too long.
- Yields approximately 8 cups, enough for eight 8-ounce servings. Sweetness depends on the cranberry juice blend used.
- This is a refrigerated fresh drink, not a tested shelf-stable canning recipe.
