Sparkling Fall Harvest Punch

This is the punch that belongs on every Thanksgiving table and at every autumn gathering where the kids (and designated drivers) deserve something just as festive as everyone else.

Cranberry, apple, and orange juices get combined and chilled, then fizzy club soda goes in right before serving. Float some orange slices and whole fresh cranberries on top and it looks like fall in a punch bowl.

Non-alcoholic, low in calories, and ready in 10 minutes flat.

Variations

• Add a cinnamon stick or two to the juice mixture while it chills for a warm spice note.
• Swap the club soda for ginger ale if you want a sweeter, spicier version.
• Spike individual servings with a splash of vodka or bourbon for the grown-ups.

Kitchen Tips

• Chill all the juices thoroughly before mixing. Cold punch stays fizzy longer.
• Add the club soda at the very last moment and stir gently. Aggressive stirring kills the bubbles.
