Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, it's a guilt-free indulgence that's as delicious as it is delightful.

Ingredients:

• 1 quart pomegranate juice (choose 100% pure for the best flavor)
• 2 cups fresh orange juice, strained.
• 2 cups chilled sparkling water.
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a mix)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves.
• Orange slices and pomegranate arils, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large pitcher, combine pomegranate juice, orange juice, and sparkling water. Stir gently to blend.

2. Add fresh or frozen berries and mint leaves. Let the punch sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Chill the punch for at least 1 hour, or until serving time.

4. Garnish with orange slices and pomegranate arils before serving.

Tips:

• For a sweeter punch, add a tablespoon or two of honey or agave nectar to taste.
• If you don't have fresh berries, you can use frozen berries or even a splash of flavored syrup, such as raspberry or strawberry.
• For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the sparkling water and substitute it with additional fruit juice or sparkling juice.
• Get creative with your garnishes! Use other fruits like grapes, cranberries, or pineapple. Fresh herbs like basil or rosemary can also add a unique twist.
