Fruit Variations: Add other fruits like sliced strawberries, pineapples, or even apple slices for a different twist.
Herb Infusion: Infuse the punch with a sprig of rosemary or thyme for a herbal note that pairs well with the fruity flavors.
Frozen Fruit Ice Cubes: For a fun twist, freeze cranberries, orange slices, or pineapple chunks in ice cubes and use them in place of regular ice to keep the punch chilled without diluting it.
