Is a picnic or party really complete without a bowl of refreshing fruit punch? This fruit punch recipe is the perfect make-ahead, low-effort drink all your guests will love. It\u2019s perfectly balanced with tropical-tart fruit juices and a healthy splash of zippy ginger ale. The punch is perfect served as is, but adding a bit of wine or spirits for an adults-only beverage is certainly a fabulous option.<\/p>\n
In a large container (such as a pitcher) pour in the cranberry, pineapple, orange and lemon juices, and stir until well combined. Cover the container opening with storage wrap, and refrigerate for at least eight hours or up to two days.<\/p>\n Just before serving, transfer the fruit punch to a punch bowl. Stir in the ginger ale and orange slices.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> To avoid watering down the punch, add ice cubes directly to each serving glass instead of the punch bowl. To preserve the orange slices\u2019 integrity, too, you can add them directly to glasses so they don\u2019t sit in the punch bowl and become soggy.<\/p>\n The fruit punch can be covered and stored in the fridge for up to two days. Just don’t add the ginger ale or fresh fruit until you’re ready to serve it!<\/p>\n You can serve fruit punch in a punch bowl or a large pitcher. Pour the punch into beautiful glassware for an elevated presentation.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make fruit punch ahead of time. This fruit punch recipe can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the fridge. However, don\u2019t add the ginger ale, fruit slices or any ice until you\u2019re ready to serve the punch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This fruit punch is a perfectly balanced
