Step‑by‑Step Instructions

In a large punch bowl, combine 2-3 cinnamon sticks, a handful of allspice berries, and a few whole cloves. Pour in 4 cups of apple cider, 1 cup each of cranberry juice, orange juice, and pomegranate juice, followed by 2 cups of pineapple juice. Stir well with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Cover the punch bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. This allows the spices to infuse into the juices, enhancing the flavor profile.
Just before serving, carefully remove the punch from the refrigerator. Slowly add 2-3 cups of lemon-lime soda to the chilled mixture, ensuring a gentle stir to retain the carbonation.
Slice an orange into rounds and add these along with a handful of fresh cranberries to the punch. Ladle the Autumn Punch over glasses filled with ice.
