Any recipe that starts off with a pint each of vodka and bourbon means business. Fresh cranberries help bring out the Christmas spirit while a good pour of ginger ale adds a nice fizz to the punch.

ingredients

1 pint vodka
1 pint bourbon
2 pints cranberry or cranapple juice
16 ounces frozen lemonade, undiluted
16 ounces frozen orange juice, undiluted
2 quarts ginger ale
orange slices
fresh cranberries

directions

Combine the vodka, bourbon, cranberry juice, and frozen juices in a pitcher. Mix well.

Place an ice block or ice ring in a punch bowl (or see note below). Add the ginger ale to the pitcher and pour the mixture over the ice in the punch bowl.

Garnish the punch with orange slices and fresh cranberries, if desired.

cook's notes

If you don't want to make an ice ring, chill the pitcher of punch for 2-3 hours before adding the ginger ale, then serve. Or, make cranberry juice ice cubes to add to the punch at serving time.

Will it keep for several days with the ginger ale added?

  The ginger ale will go flat if you add it several days in advance. In that case, I would add the ginger ale just before serving.

I haven't actually made this yet but am planning on it on Saturday. Can you confirm that the frozen juice in this recipe is that of the canned variety?

  I haven't seen frozen juice that isn't canned :)
