Equipment

Ingredients

1 apple optional garnish
1 orange optional garnish
4 cups apple juice
2 cups orange juice
1 cup ginger beer or ginger ale

Instructions

Slice the apple and orange thinly (about ⅓-inch slices).
1 apple, 1 orange
Pour the juices and ginger beer into pitcher or serving vessel and stir to combine.
4 cups apple juice, 2 cups orange juice, 1 cup ginger beer
Add the sliced fruit to the pitcher, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve over ice.

Notes

Preparation

You can mix the juices up to three days ahead of time. Just reserve the soda and garnishes until you're about to start dinner so that everything stays fresh and bubbly.

Modifications

Feel free to get as glamorous as you like with additional garnishes like fresh or frozen cranberries, pomegranate, or sprigs of seasonal herbs like rosemary!

If you don't have ginger beer, ginger ale also works well. You can even swap in a citrus soda like Sprite or 7UP, though you won't get the same spiced flavor note.

To make it spiked, add a few shots of bourbon whiskey, vodka, or cognac to transform this recipe into a Thanksgiving boozy punch. Another fun option is to add a champagne float. 😉

Storage

Store leftover punch in an airtight container (like a large mason jar) in the refrigerator for up to three days.
