Having friends over for a holiday supper? No need to fret over multiple beverages … punch to the rescue! Let your imagination loose as exact measurements are not necessary.
110 ounce jarcherries with stems, drained and juice reserved
Strawberries, pomegranate arils, star fruit, pineapple wedges, cherries, rosemary
Edible gold stars and flecks, optional
PUNCH:
1 part Holiday Cheerwine Punch*
1 part gingerale
1 part lemon-lime club soda
fresh mint
Instructions
ICE RING:
Layer fruits (including cherries) and rosemary stems in the bottom of Bundt pan. Gently pour in pineapple juice just to cover and then freeze. Mix cherry juice with pineapple juice, pour over frozen fruit layer and refreeze. Be sure to freeze as instructed. Most of the fruits will float, so if you pour too much for the first layer, they will be deep in your ring and not show up on top.
Remove ring from freezer about 20 minutes before serving time. Run warm water over Bundt pan to loosen ring. Gently place ring into punch bowl.
PUNCH:
Pour Cheerwine, ginger ale and club soda over ring. Garnish with additional star fruit, mint leaves, rosemary, gold stars and flecks.
Notes
Variation: Offer spiced rum on the side for an adult version.
*Regular Cheerwine can be used if Holiday Punch is not available.
