Cran-Raspberry Citrus Wreath Punch

• Frozen Fruit Ring
• 2 pints Cran-Raspberry Cocktail
• 1 orange, thinly sliced
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 cup cranberries
• 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns
• Cran-Raspberry Punch
• 2 liters cran-raspberry cocktail
• 2 liters ginger ale
• 1 cup sugar or splenda
• 1/2 ounce almond extract

1. Freeze ice ring a day or 2 days ahead of time. If you forget, or have to do this at the last minute, don't worry....make a "cran-raspberry slushie" with the extra cocktail mix, some ice and just 5-6 pink peppercorns. Make it as concentrated as possible, enough ice to chill the batch without watering down the bowl as it melts. You may want to skip the whole cranberries and just float the orange slices and raspberries on top.
2. Mix the sugar(sweetner) with the cran-raspberry cocktail and stir well to dissolve. Add the almond extract.
3. Add the ginger ale (see how to make your own from this summer's contest) and float the ice ring on top. Can garnish cups with orange slice and/or raspberry. for a Christmas touch, use a rosemarry sprig with a cranberry poked through the end.
