This drink is refreshing and fun for everyone. A ‘Cranberry, Tangerine, and Pomegranate Punch’ is a delightful add on to any get together. It takes more steps, but is super worth it to make. The ingredients are 12 oz. fresh cranberries, 1 bunch mint, 2 cups freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, 3 cups freshly squeezed tangerine juice, 5 cups cranberry-juice cocktail, and 2 bottles (750 ml each) of Sparkling Wine or Champagne.
Spear 3 cranberries alternately with 2 mint leaves on each wooden skewer, place skewers on baking sheet, cover with damp paper towels, and refrigerate for one hour.

You friends will be delighted with this masterpiece.
