Method

1
Chill the cranberry juice, pink lemonade, pineapple juice, orange juice, and ginger ale in the refrigerator for a few hours before assembling — starting cold keeps the punch from watering down as the ice melts.
2
If making an ice ring, freeze some sliced oranges, lemons, and cranberries or strawberries in a bundt pan or ring mold with a thin layer of water or extra cranberry juice a day ahead.
3
In a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser, combine the cranberry juice, pink lemonade, pineapple juice, orange juice, and fresh lime juice.
4
Stir in the grenadine a tablespoon at a time, tasting as you go, until the punch has a pleasant sweet-tart balance and a rosy color. Add the optional cold espresso or coffee concentrate now if using a jazzed-up version. Cover and chill at least 2 hours, or up to a day.
5
Just before serving, gently pour in the chilled ginger ale (and sparkling water or tonic, if using) — add it last and stir only briefly so it stays fizzy.
6
Float the ice ring (or add ice cubes) along with fresh sliced oranges and lemons, mint sprigs, and edible flowers as garnish.
7
Ladle into glasses over ice and serve immediately while the punch is still bubbly.
