Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1 day in advance, into a 4-cup ring mold, pour filtered water until 3/4 inches deep and freeze.
  2. Remove frozen mold and place 6 to 7 orange slices end to end on top of ice.
  3. Top the center of each slice with 3 cranberries grouped together. Add more water to cover, adjusting fruit so evenly spaced and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours.
  4. Bring the orange zest, cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, water, and sugar to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  5. Reduce the heat and then simmer, covered, 5 minutes.
  6. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids.
  7. Combine the remaining ingredients with the spiced syrup in a punch bowl and stir. Add ice ring before serving.
  8. Remove from the heat and let steep, uncovered, for 1 hour.
