Ingredients

Scale

Spices

  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 5 allspice berries
  • 3 whole cloves

Liquids

  • 3 cups apple cider
  • 2 cups cranberry juice
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 1½ cups pomegranate juice
  • 1½ cups pineapple juice
  • 2 cups lemon-lime soda

Garnish

  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries

Instructions

  1. Combine Spices and Juices: In a large punch bowl, add the cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, and whole cloves along with the apple cider, cranberry juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, and pineapple juice. Stir gently to mix the ingredients and allow the spices to infuse the juices with their warm flavors.
  2. Add Soda and Garnishes: Just before serving, carefully pour the lemon-lime soda over the punch mixture to add a fizzy, refreshing element. Top the punch with the sliced orange and fresh cranberries, which add both color and a festive touch.
  3. Serve: Ladle the Autumn Punch over ice-filled glasses to keep it chilled. This party-ready punch is now ready to enjoy, offering a harmonious blend of sweet, tart, and spiced flavors.

Notes

  • For a warm version, gently heat the punch mixture with the spices and juices before adding the soda and serving.
  • If you prefer a less sweet punch, reduce the amount of lemon-lime soda or substitute with sparkling water.
  • Fresh cranberries can be frozen ahead of time and used as decorative ice cubes to keep the punch cold without dilution.
  • Make sure to stir gently after adding the soda to preserve the carbonation.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegetarian.
