Put a twinkle in *their eyes* by making a batch of this fall flavor favorite (a “flavorite?”).
i. ingredients
2 trays (24 cubes) | cranberry ice cubes, see below
24 | lemon slices
2 ice cube trays (about 1-2 cups) | cranberry juice cocktail
28 ounces | orange flavored carbonated beverage, chilled
28 ounces| carbonated water, chilled
to garnish | fresh mint
ii. what to do
1. To make the special ice cubes, put a lemon slice in each section of an ice-cube tray and fill with cranberry juice cocktail. Freeze overnight.
2. Mix the beverages just before serving and serve over the cranberry ice cubes in a punch bowl or large pitcher.
3. Top with mint sprigs, if desired.
Raise your arms in the air… you’re done!
