 This delicious combination of fruit juices and gingerale make a terrific holiday punch.
Grape juice may be substituted for the red wine, so non-drinkers and children can also enjoy this festive punch.

If you prefer to serve a warm beverage; place all the ingredients in a large saucepan (omitting the gingerale and ice cubes). Add a sachet of mulling spices and 2 tablespoons of sugar and heat to just below boiling point and keep this temperature for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the sachet of mulling spices, pour warm mixture into punch bowl, and garnish with the sliced oranges and apples for an attrative and festive presentation. This warm variation makes 6-8 servings.
