Ingredients:
64 ounces cranberry juice cocktail
14 ounces pineapple juice

Instructions:
Prepare the Base
Start by squeezing the lemonade concentrate into a large punch bowl or drink dispenser. This forms the tangy foundation for your punch.

Add the cranberry juice cocktail and pineapple juice to the bowl. Slowly pour in the Sprite or lemon-lime soda to retain its fizz. Gently stir the mixture to combine the ingredients without losing carbonation.
Chill and Garnish
Add a generous amount of ice to the bowl or dispenser. For an extra festive touch, incorporate orange slices and fresh cranberries as garnishes. These not only enhance the punch’s appearance but also add subtle flavor.
Serve
Pour the punch into individual glasses over ice. For a fun twist, add a small scoop of orange sherbet to each glass before serving for a creamy citrusy delight.
