Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cranberry juice
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 2 cups ginger ale or lemon-lime soda for extra fizz
  • 1/2 cup peppermint syrup or candy cane-flavored syrup
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup lime juice freshly squeezed for the best flavor
  • 6-8 small candy canes for garnish and extra peppermint flavor
  • Crushed ice for serving
  • Fresh cranberries orange slices, and mint (optional garnish)
  • Optional Add-Ons:
  • 1 cup vodka or white rum for an adult version
  • Peppermint sticks or candy canes to crush and rim the glasses

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Base:
  • In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, and lime juice. Stir well to mix all the juices together.
  • Add Peppermint Syrup:
  • Stir in the peppermint syrup (or candy cane syrup). This will add a subtle minty freshness to your punch that echoes the holiday spirit of candy canes!
  • Add the Fizz:
  • Right before serving, pour in the ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda) to give the punch a fizzy, festive sparkle.
  • Garnish and Decorate:
  • Add crushed ice to each glass before serving. Garnish the punch with candy canes hanging off the side of the glasses for a decorative touch. You can also add fresh cranberries, orange slices, and mint leaves to the punch bowl for extra color and flavor.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
  • If you'd like, crush some candy canes and rim your glasses with them for a sweet, pepperminty edge. Simply dip the rims of the glasses in water or juice, then press them into crushed candy cane pieces.
