Ingredients

1 large bag ice
40 ounces 100% cranberry juice *NOT cranberry juice cocktail*
2 bottles very dry sparkling wine (750 ml bottles), such as champagne, cava, or Prosecco (I used a brut Prosecco)
2 cups apple cider
1.5 cups diet ginger ale (12 ounces) (from 1 can or poured from a liter bottle)
1.5 cups dark rum or brandy (12 ounces)
2 oranges thinly sliced into rounds
1 cup fresh cranberries

Instructions

Make sure all of the ingredients are well chilled.
Fill a large punch bowl with ice.
Top with the cranberry juice, sparkling wine, apple cider, ginger ale, and rum.
Stir gently to combine.
Top with the orange slices and fresh cranberries. Enjoy!

Notes

*Important note on cranberry juice: Look for juice marked 100% cranberry but with a blend of other juices, usually apple, added. If using pure cranberry juice, it may be too tart; sweeten to taste with simple syrup if necessary.
