Ingredients
- 2/3 cup sugar (or 2/3 cup Splenda granular)
- 2/3 cup club soda or 2/3 cup water
- 1 cup grapefruit juice
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 1/2 cups chilled ginger ale (regular or sugar-free)
- 3 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice (or 3 tablespoons grenadine)
How to Make
-
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).
