Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill all ingredients before mixing.
  2. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine cranberry juice, pineapple juice, pomegranate juice, and fresh orange juice.
  3. Stir in simple syrup to taste.
  4. If using spirits, add white rum, vodka, or orange liqueur.
  5. Just before serving, pour in the lemon-lime soda or ginger ale for fizz.
  6. Garnish with fresh cranberries, orange slices, and cinnamon sticks.

Notes

This punch can easily be adapted for a non-alcoholic version by skipping the spirits and adding extra bubbles. Adjust sweetness and flavor to your preference, and use an ice ring to keep it chilled without diluting the taste.
