Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

4 cups water
2 cups 100% orange juice
1 cup unsweetened cranberry juice (can substitute with unsweetened pomegranate juice)
2–3 tbsp lemon juice (or juice of 1 whole lemon)
1/4 cup honey or agave nectar (optional, to taste)
2 cups sparkling water (added last)

Fruit

1–2 cups frozen mixed berries
1 orange, sliced

Instructions

Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the water, orange juice, unsweetened cranberry juice, lemon juice, and honey or agave nectar. Stir well to blend all flavors thoroughly.
Add Fruit: Add the frozen mixed berries and orange slices to the mixture, which will chill and infuse the punch with fresh fruit flavors.
Chill: Place the punch in the refrigerator and chill for several hours to allow the flavors to meld and the beverage to become refreshingly cold.
Add Sparkling Water: Just before serving, gently stir in the sparkling water to add a fizzy, refreshing texture.
Serve: Pour the punch into glasses and serve chilled for a delicious and revitalizing drink.

Notes

You can substitute unsweetened pomegranate juice for the cranberry juice for a slightly different fruity flavor.
Adjust the amount of honey or agave nectar depending on your preferred level of sweetness.
For a festive touch, add fresh herbs like mint or rosemary as garnish.
This punch is best served the same day it is made to maintain the freshness and fizz of the sparkling water.
