Number Of Ingredients 8

6 1/2 cups water
2 bags (12 ounces each) fresh cranberries, plus more for skewers
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 ounce whipping-quality pasteurized egg white, lightly beaten
1/4 cup superfine sugar
1 liter club soda
1 1/4 cups vodka, chilled (optional)
2 pints orange sherbet, softened slightly

Steps:

  • Bring water and cranberries to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain into a large punch bowl, pressing gently on solids. Discard solids. Add granulated sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Thread several cranberries onto each of 12 small skewers. Brush with egg white, and sprinkle with superfine sugar. Let dry on a nonstick baking mat.
  • Add club soda, and vodka if using, to bowl. Top with sherbet, and serve with cranberry skewers.
