Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

64 oz cranberry juice, divided
6 oz can frozen orange pineapple juice
1 l bottle 7 up or ginger ale
1 qt raspberry sherbert, divided
floating ring:
2 c cranberry juice
1/3 c fresh cranberries
1/3 c fresh fruit your choice, strawberries, blueberries, etc
1 1/2 c frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • 1. Make your floating ring ahead of time, I use a bundt pan because it has a pretty deep design on it.
  • 2. Thaw the frozen topping so you can combine it with other ingredients.
  • 3. Combine all floating ring ingredients.
  • 4. Place in a freezer, and when it starts to set, give a stir to distribute the fresh fruit through out the mold.
  • 5. When you are ready for your guests put punch together. I literally wait until every one is there to keep the sparkle in the punch.
  • 6. Put the frozen orange pineapple in your punch bowl, then add Half the cranberry juice, and half the ginger ale, stir to melt the juice.
  • 7. Add the rest of liquids as you desire, don't fill up all the way to make room for floating ring.
  • 8. Put some hot water in your sink. Add the frozen ring and place in it just to loosen it enough to get it out of your mold.
  • 9. Place frozen ring on tiop of your punch, add the sherbert in the middle, and TA DAH! You got one fabulous looking punch.
