To make a Cranberry Punch, build in a mug: 32 oz cranberry juice, 32 oz pineapple juice, 4 oz lime juice, 3 oz simple syrup, ¼ oz almond flavoring and 63 oz ginger ale.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour into a mug: cranberry juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, simple syrup and almond flavoring.

  2. 2

    Top with ginger ale.

  3. 3

    Give it one gentle stir.

Why build it in the glass? Nothing here needs shaking, and pouring straight in keeps the ginger ale fizzy.

No simple syrup? Muddle 4 tbsp sugar with a splash of water in the glass until it dissolves, then carry on.
