Made this for Thanksgiving Day with a group of 23 family members. Went over very well, but nothing spectacular. I liked it because it wasn't overly sweet. I dropped in frozen cranberries instead of the marashino cherries, it was definitely a festive looking punch!

I made this for a party and everyone loved it. It was perfect for the kids and the adults spiked it with their favorite alcohol. Instead of adding the fruit directly to the punch, i froze it in a bit of water and sprite and added the big ice chunk to the punch. It made a great visual and kept the punch cool all night.

Very refreshing. Only change I made was using 100% Juice Cranberry juice instead of Carnberry juice cocktail gave it A more "Refreshing" taste. Thanks for posting this.

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!!

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.

Over all this was a great punch, I didn't pay enough attention to the portion size though and in the future I'd make it a half recipe. Thank goodness I have a large punch bowl. I also doubled the orange juice as I found it too gingerale-y for me. I floated sliced or oranges and frozen pineapple and strawberries in it to keep it cold instead of ice, keep your punch from getting watered down. Good punch recipe I'll use it again.

This was pretty good. I had almost none left. It wasn't spectacular like I was expecting but it was a quick and easy recipe for a pleasing punch. I would make this again.

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.

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!

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.

This is a very nice non-alcholic drink, not to sure about the cherries though.

This was great! But man oh man did it make a lot of punch. I didn't even really consider the quantities before starting and I was having to jump back and forth between several containers to make it work. Overall it tastes great though!
