Cranberry Slush

This is a delicious punch that would be perfect for the holidays. If you are serving individual drinks it looks really pretty if make a garnish for each glass. All you need is wooden skewers, fresh cranberries, and orange and lime slices. On each wooden skewer place one cranberry close to the top, then a thin triangle shaped wedge of lime, a thin triange shaped wedge of orange, and top with another cranberry (as shown above. This is just water, not the punch). If you're serving a big group you can place frozen grapes, strawberries and raspberries, that act like ice cubes, right in the punch. You could also float sliced oranges, limes and marichino cherries.
