Ingredients

Servings

Amounts below make 6 servings (the full recipe).

Garnish: Lemon slices (1), Pomegranate seeds, Rosemary sprigs (3 sprigs)

Batching tip: mix everything except ice and sparkling mixers up to a few hours ahead and keep it chilled. Pour over fresh ice to serve. Add the bubbly part right before serving so it stays fizzy.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Add the sliced pears and lemon slices to a large jug or punch bowl with the sugar, mixed spice and lemon juice. Stir and leave a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour in the white grape juice and stir.

  3. 3

    Add plenty of ice, then top with the ginger ale and sparkling water.

  4. 4

    Scatter over pomegranate seeds and add sprigs of rosemary.

Swap it: Make it boozy: add 100 to 150 ml of rum, vodka or gin to the jug. Party tip: freeze fruit, cranberries or juice into ice cubes ahead of time so the punch stays cold without watering down.
