Description

Hocus Pocus Punch is a festive, refreshing non-alcoholic drink perfect for parties and gatherings. This fruity punch combines apple cider, cranberry juice, orange seltzer, and ginger ale, complemented by vibrant slices of oranges and apples along with maraschino cherries, creating a colorful and flavorful beverage that’s easy to prepare and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

  • 6 cups apple cider
  • 2 cups cranberry juice
  • 2 (12 ounce) cans orange seltzer
  • ¼ cup maraschino cherry juice
  • 1 cup ginger ale or ginger beer

Fruit and Garnishes

  • 2 oranges, sliced
  • 2 apples, sliced
  • 1/3 cup maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Combine liquids. In a large pitcher or bowl, pour in the apple cider, cranberry juice, orange seltzer, ginger ale (or ginger beer), and maraschino cherry juice. These ingredients form the flavorful base of the punch.
  2. Add fruit and cherries. Add the sliced oranges, sliced apples, and maraschino cherries directly into the liquid mixture. This adds color, texture, and a fresh fruity element to the punch.
  3. Stir well. Gently stir the mixture to evenly distribute the fruit and blend the flavors without losing the carbonation from the seltzer and ginger ale.
  4. Serve immediately. Pour the punch into glasses and enjoy chilled. It’s perfect for festive occasions and requires no additional steps like chilling or cooking.

Notes

  • This punch is best served immediately to maintain the fizz from the orange seltzer and ginger ale.
  • For a spiked version, add your favorite spirits like rum or vodka.
  • Adjust the sweetness by substituting cranberry juice with a less sweet variety or using diet ginger ale for lower sugar content.
  • Use fresh, crisp apples and oranges for the best flavor and presentation.
  • Optional: add ice cubes or frozen fruit to keep the punch chilled without diluting the flavor too quickly.
