Excellent! I made this for a cookie exchange party and I had to refill the punch bowl soon after all the guests arrived! I left out the cranberry liqueur and used 2 cans of frozen cranberry juice instead. I used one bottle of club soda and one bottle of the new cranberry gingerale from "Canada Dry". For the ice ring put one cup cranberry juice, let it freeze then added a layer of Orange juice, let it freeze and then repeated the layers. Thanks for a great recipe. (I also used recipe 22881 for the sweetened condensed milk) -
Loved the punch -- Beautiful and delicious -- We did add the cranberry liquor -- But I didn't like the the ice-ring -- It was very unattractive - and the lime slices did not improve the punch as it melted. I will serve this again but I will not dilute the cranberry juice for the ice-ring and I will leave out the lime slices.
