What you will need

- 32 oz cranberry juice chilled
- 32 oz pomegranate juice chilled
- 1 liter raspberry ginger ale chilled
- 1 quart raspberry sherbet
- 1 cup fresh raspberries for garnish
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Chill Juices
Combine cranberry juice and pomegranate juice in a pitcher and refrigerate for at least one hour until very cold before assembling the punch.
Step 2: Pour Into Punch Bowl
Transfer the chilled juice mixture into a decorative punch bowl or large heart-shaped bowl if available.
Step 3: Add Ginger Ale
Slowly pour the raspberry ginger ale along the edge of the bowl tilting gently to preserve as many bubbles as possible.
Step 4: Add Sherbet and Garnish
Scoop raspberry sherbet in romantic spoonfuls onto the surface of the punch and scatter fresh raspberries around it before serving.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- pomegranate juice → cherry juice for a sweeter more affordable option
- raspberry ginger ale → regular ginger ale plus a splash of grenadine for color
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using room temperature juices which melt the sherbet too fast and make the punch warm
- Adding ginger ale before guests arrive so the punch goes flat during the party
