FYI: One way to prevent your punch from diluting during your party, is to make your ice cubes out of extra pineapple, orange, or lime juice. For a very festive touch, you can pre-freeze a fresh cranberry or two, or a cleaned organic holly leaf in your ice cubes. Not only will these festive ice cubes look appealing to your guests, but they will prevent the Cranberry Punch from becoming ‘watery’ as the ice melts.
