Great for a springtime or summer brunch. Use Splenda and diet ginger ale to make this suitable for diabetics. If you can find reduced calorie juices that is great as well.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar or 2/3 cup splenda granular
2/3 cup club soda or 2/3 cup water
1 cup grapefruit juice
1/2 cup orange juice
3 1/2 cups chilled ginger ale (regular or sugar-free)
3 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice or 3 tablespoons grenadine
Directions:
1. Make a simple syrup out of sugar/Splenda and water (not the club soda), and juices by stirring over low heat until mixture boils.
2. Chill mixture, and gently stir in club soda (if using) as well as the ginger ale just prior to serving (adding these at this point helps retain more carbonation/bubbles).
3. Serve in a punch bowl or in glasses over ice (freezing small pieces of fresh oranges or grapefruit in ice is an extra touch).
