Crystal Clear Punch With Fruit Cubes Recipes

Steps:

• While fruit is still frozen, dice into small pieces. Work carefully yet quickly to keep fruit in a frozen state.
• Place a few bits of frozen fruit bits into each of the ice molds/trays. Pour enough chilled white grape juice to fill trays. Pour into mini muffin tins or ice trays and freeze solid.
• Once fully frozen, place in a large Ziploc bag until needed.
• When ready to serve, mix remaining bottle of white grape juice and ginger ale into a punch bowl. Add frozen fruit cubes and serve.

Steps:

• Add water to drink mix in 2-qt. plastic or glass pitcher; stir until mix is dissolved.
• Stir in all remaining ingredients except ice cubes.
• Pour into punch bowl; stir in ice cubes.

Steps:

• Pour everything into a punch bowl and serve.
• There are two other variations of white cranberry juice- one with strawberry, one with peach- these both add a lovely blush of color to your punch!

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the syrup is clear. Set aside to cool.
• Combine the syrup, wine, and sparkling water and stir well. Add the remaining fruit and serve cold.

Steps:

• FOR DECORATIVE ICE CUBES: put small chunks of fruit or mint sprigs into an ice tray, fill with water and freeze.
• Serve the ice cubes directly in drinks, or put them out in a glass bowl or ice bucket with tongs.
• FOR THE DECORATIVE ICE MOLD: you will need a glass bowl that is smaller than your punch bowl, plus a second shallow container of equal volume.
• Fill the shallow container with water and let it sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, stirring it from time to time to get rid of any air bubbles.
• Line the bottom (but not up the sides) of the empty glass bowl with fruit and/or flowers of your choice.
• Take a tablespoon or so of water from the shallow container and pour this water over the fruit/flower layer, then put the glass bowl in the freezer, leaving it there until the fruit/flower layer is anchored in ice.
• Next, pour another tablespoon or so of the reserved water over the first (now frozen), and allow this to freeze; continue adding water and letting it freeze until the fruit/flower layer is just barely covered in ice.
• Now start going up the bowl, laying fruit and/or flowers against the side of the bowl, and pouring water over them a little at a time, allowing the water to freeze to anchor the fruit and/or flowers against the side of the bowl.
• Continue adding water and allowing it to freeze until the bowl is full of ice.
• When you're ready to use the mold, let the bowl sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes; or alternatively, put it in a slightly larger bowl containing warm water for a couple of minutes.
• When the ice has melted just enough so that it's no longer stuck to the side of the bowl, invert the whole thing inside your punch bowl; the result will be a mound of ice with fruit and flowers all over its surface (Note: when you pour some punch over it, the ice surface will become clear, though it's usually opaque when it first comes out of the mold).

Steps:

• Thinly slice the lemons and the oranges and place in a large punch bowl. Pour in the thawed lemonade. Gently stir in the club soda and the sparkling apple cider. Add sugar to taste. Add ice.

Steps:

• Add juice and water to drink mix in large plastic or glass pitcher; stir until mix is dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Pour into punch bowl just before serving. Stir in ginger ale. Add orange slices. Serve over ice.
