About The Ingredients To Make Cranberry Slush Punch?

This punch recipe is simple, only requiring a few ingredients. All of the ingredients are easily found at your local store.

1. Cranberry juice- I like to use 100% cranberry juice instead of co*cktail or mixed fruit. We will be adding other sweeteners so a nice tart cranberry juice is perfect.
2. Orange Juice- Your favorite brand is perfect.
3. 100% Pineapple Juice. I'm a fan of Dole Pineapple juice. They have great quality.
4. Sugar- Sugar is important for creating the slush!
5. 2-3 2 liters of lemon lime soda or ginger ale. Feel free to opt for a sugar free soda since the juices all have natural sugars.

2. Pour in cranberry juice.
3. Pour in Dole pineapple juice
4. Add orange juice.

1. Stir to combine
2. Freeze for 12-18 hours. Remove from freezer and let stand for 1 hour.
3. Using a study fork, break apart into a granita consistency.
4. Add to your punch bowl.

Combine Soda with Slush

I like to add about ⅓-1/2 of the slush mixture to my punch bowl with the 1 of the soda's. As the party is slowly drinking the punch refill as needed.

If Your punch bowl is large enough you can use the entire recipe at once.

Dress Up Your Holiday Drink

This slush is so beautiful for the holidays. Here are some ideas for dressing up your holiday drink.

• fresh cranberries
• slices oranges
• sliced grapefruit
• slices apples (slice wide, so the core star appears)
• fresh rosemart
• raspberries
• star anise

Pro Party Tips:

Make this ahead. Once frozen I like to chop it up into the granita and place it in an air tight bag bag or container. Then its ready to be used anytime over the next 3 months! just keep frozen.

If you live in a place where you have cold weather place the soda outside instead of taking up precious fridge space

If traveling with the punch keep the soda separate from the slush. Mix at party.

Put the fruit juice granita in a plastic container or bag on ice in a cooler until you arrive at destination. You do NOT want that melting.
