Spirited Cranberry Punch

This holly red punch is equally good without the vodka. Pour well­chilled ingredients into punch bowl just before serving. A fun way to serve the punch is to hang mini candy canes over the rims of the punch cups.

2 bottles cranberry juice cocktail (12 cups)
1 bottle (48­oz.) cran­raspberry drink (6 cups) or 1 can (12­oz.) frozen cran­raspberry drink concentrate, reconstituted and chilled.
1 bottle (33 oz.) 4 cups gingerale, chilled
1 bottle (750 mL) non­alcoholic sparkling white grape juice (21/2 cups)
11/2 cups vodka (optional) chilled in freezer

For garnish, use cranberries, small cinnamon sticks, orange, lemon and lime slices.

Mix all together in an 8­qt. or larger punch bowl. Add garnish last.
