Instructions

Make sure the cranberry juice cocktail, apple cider, and ginger ale are fully chilled beforehand.

Notes

*Make sure to get sweetened cranberry juice cocktail that only contains cranberry juice, not a mix of cranberry and other fruit juices.

*To adjust servings, follow the simple ratio of 2 parts cranberry juice + 2 parts ginger ale + 1 part apple cider.

*To spike this punch, simply add 1-2oz. of vodka, white rum, or gin to each glass or 20-40oz. to the punch bowl.
