Blood Orange Punch
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes | Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 cups blood orange juice, freshly squeezed (about 8–10 blood oranges)
- 2 cups cranberry juice, chilled
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup, to taste
- 1 liter sparkling water or ginger ale, chilled
- 1 blood orange, thinly sliced, for garnish
- 1 cup ice
- Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Juice the oranges. Halve and juice enough blood oranges to yield 4 cups of fresh juice. Strain out any seeds and set aside.
- Combine the base. In a large punch bowl or pitcher, stir together the blood orange juice, cranberry juice, and lemon juice until combined.
- Sweeten to taste. Add honey or simple syrup one tablespoon at a time, stirring and tasting until the punch reaches your preferred sweetness.
- Add the sparkle. Just before serving, slowly pour in the sparkling water or ginger ale and stir gently to preserve the carbonation.
- Garnish and serve. Add ice to the punch bowl, float blood orange slices on top, and tuck in a few sprigs of fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately in glasses or punch cups.
