Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cranberry juice cocktail chilled
  • 2 cups orange juice chilled
  • 0.5 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry sparkling wine chilled
  • 4 cups ginger ale chilled
  • 1 cup cranberries frozen
  • 1 orange medium, thinly sliced
  • 6 cups ice

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart punch bowl

Method
 

  1. In a 6-quart punch bowl, stir together the cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice, and lime juice; refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.
  2. Just before serving, gently stir in the sparkling wine and ginger ale, then add the frozen cranberries and orange slices.
  3. Fill 12 glasses with the ice and ladle in the punch.

Notes

For the freshest bubbles, chill the juice mixture ahead and add the sparkling wine and ginger ale just before serving. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day, though they will lose carbonation; freezing is not recommended. For an alcohol-free version, use nonalcoholic sparkling wine.
