Punch for Cheaters...or Punch in a Pinch


I made this once last year in a pinch, and everyone loved it and kept asking for the 'recipe'. This goes to show that presentation just might be everything, lol!


2-liter bottles of Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash (seasonal), chilled
Orange Juice
Limes and/or Limes, sliced
Cranberries, fresh


Pour OJ into a jello-ring mold (I have one from Tupperware) or a bundt pan. Arrange lime/lemon slices in the OJ ring, and sprinkle cranberries around the ring. Freeze.


Pour Sierra Mist into punch bowl, and float the OJ ice ring.
