Ooh, I have one! :-) And it's red! :-)

 

Cranberry Cherry Holiday Punch

 

1 qt cranberry juice

1 pt cherry cider (or juice if you can't find cider)

1/2 c orange juice

1 orange, thinly sliced

1 liter seltzer

 

ice ring to garnish

 

Make sure all ingredients are well chilled. Put everything but the

seltzer in your punch bowl and stir well to blend. Add the seltzer

and float the ice ring on top to keep it chilled.

 

To make ice ring:

 

Set a layer of ice cubes in the bottom of a ring mold (I use a bundt

pan/tube pan), then arrange red & green grapes, and slices of orange

twisted to look like flowers, on top of the ice. Align them as

tightly as possible. Fill the mold carefully with the same kind of

juice you're using as the base of the punch (in this case, cranberry).

Put in a level spot in the freezer and freeze until solid. When

needed, unmold by running some water on the bottom outside of the pan

and tipping the ice out... obviously, set the unmolded ring fruit-side

up in the punch! :-)
