My first though for beverages for the apple shower was apple cider. We have an orchard on the edge of town that makes THE BEST cider. But, it isn't pasteurized and I wasn't sure if the mommies to be in attendance would want to drink it. So, I made this apple juice punch instead. I also made sure to have some hard ciders for those who wanted them. I thought for sure the guys would have all of the ciders gone before the day was done. They did drink some ciders, but they drank just as much punch! It was as pretty as it was delicious!
Ingredients:
2 (12 oz) can frozen cranberry juice, thawed
1 (64 oz) jug apple juice
2 cup orange juice
2 liters ginger ale
Apples for garnish
- Chill all ingredients.
- In a large punch bowl or drink dispenser, mix together cranberry juice, apple juice and orange juice.
- Slowly pour in ginger ale. Mix until combined.
- Slice apples on mandoline and float on top of punch.
