Cranberry Orange Punch With Cranberry-Rosemary Ice Ring

This Cranberry Orange Punch With Cranberry-Rosemary Ice Ring is only 6 ingredients and a totally show stopper for your holiday parties!

It’s the holiday season (*queue holiday music*)! If I wasn’t so wrapped up in binge watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 2 then I would probably be out celebrating the season at holiday parties. Jk Jk – I do plan to go to a holiday party eventually this season (next weekend, to be exact) and will most certainly be bringing a big batch of this punch to the event. I’ll be bringing this punch not only because I need alcohol to tame my social anxiety (I kid…sort of) but because it’s an easy and delicious way to serve up something festive.

The sweet orange juice pairs wonderfully with the tart cranberries and earthy rosemary. Plus, the vibrant ice ring is a total show stopper! It’s actually the easiest part of this whole punch but looks elegant and unique enough that you’ll be getting compliments on it all night! It’s as simple as throwing your ice ring ingredients into a bundt cake pan with water and letting it freeze. Once it’s frozen,  you’ll run it under warm water (make sure to place your hand until the ice ring if you turn the pan upside down so it doesn’t fall out and break) and boom – it’s ready! And if the appearance wasn’t enough to convince you to make this ice ring, it’s also practical since it will melt slower than a bunch of small ice cubes so your punch won’t get watered down as fast!

Cheers! Can’t wait for you to try out this recipe and make sure to tag me on socials when you try it out so I can see!
