Ingredients

Scale

3 cinnamon sticks
5 allspice berries
3 whole cloves
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

Instructions

Begin by gathering all your ingredients in the large punch bowl. Carefully add the three cinnamon sticks, five allspice berries, and three whole cloves to infuse the punch with fragrant spices. Then pour in three cups of apple cider as the delicious base flavor, followed by two cups of cranberry juice for that classic autumn tartness. Next, add two cups of orange juice, which will bring a bright, citrusy flavor. Now it’s time to stir in one-and-a-half cups of pomegranate and pineapple juices, each adding a unique sweetness that’ll delight your taste buds. Give everything a gentle stir with a ladle or a mixing spoon, ensuring the spices and juices are well-combined and fragrant.
Just before it’s time to serve, pour in the two cups of chilled lemon-lime soda. This will add a refreshing fizz and balance the drink’s sweetness. Take care to pour it gently, allowing it to mix slightly without losing too much carbonation. This bubbly addition transforms the punch from delicious to spectacular, perfect for celebrations and gatherings!
To finish off your Autumn Punch, it’s time to garnish! Add the sliced orange and fresh cranberries to the bowl, floating them on top of your vibrant mixture. Not only does this enhance the visual appeal, but it also adds a lovely citrus and fruity aroma. If you like, you can also scatter additional cranberries on the surface for an added touch of elegance.
When you’re ready to serve, fill glasses with ice and ladle the punch over the ice cubes to keep it cool. This festive drink is now ready to be enjoyed by guests! Encourage everyone to sip and savor the delightful flavors of autumn; feel free to offer additional garnishes for guests to personalize their glass.
