I didn't like how tart the cranberry juice made it, so I added extra lemonade and orange juice and gingerale. It was pretty good, but I've made better.

I could not make this punch fast enough for my holiday guests! I added Meyers Dark Rum and it was just the right touch. Thank you for a wonderful beverage.

I served this punch at a Christmas party, and everyone loved it! A few people even asked me for the recipe. I made an ice ring with pinapple/cranberry juice and orange slices to keep it cold.

This is a very nice punch recipe, but I should have paid more attention to the number of servings it made; I had way too much. Next time I'll make half the recipe. Also, the cherries probably could be left out -- they weren't necessary.

I used this punch for Christmas and the kids really enjoyed it. Then last week my nephew called me up and asked if I could make the punch for his birthday party. Now I truly know it was a success!

I recently used this recipe for my daughter's baby shower. Several men attended and raved about the punch! They didn't even mind that it was non-alcoholic!! I left out the marachino cherries because I forgot to buy them, but added some fresh mint. The mint added some extra color and an interesting flavor.

This punch was a big hit at a recent celebration and we received several requests for the recipe. It was very easy to make and we will definitely make it again! I used pink lemonade. I lessened the amount of lemonade and added a bit more OJ. In addition to the orange slices, we added some fresh orange peel strings with a zester. Rather than the ginger ale, we replaced it with 50/50 (sour soda) so it wouldn't be too sweet. The fun part was adding some small ice molds using mini bundt pans and froze white cranberry juice, fresh cranberries, orange zest and an orange slice in each one. It was very festive and overall a great recipe to use!!
