Step by Step Method
Step 1
Make a simple syrup out of sugar/Splenda and water (not the club soda), and juices by stirring over low heat until mixture boils. It won't be texturally syrupy, but well dissolved.
Step 2
Chill mixture, and gently stir in club soda (if using) as well as the ginger ale just prior to serving (adding these at this point helps retain more carbonation/bubbles).
Step 3
Serve in a punch bowl or in glasses over ice (freezing small pieces of fresh oranges or grapefruit in ice is an extra touch).
