Ingredients

1 16-oz. jar maraschino cherries
3 limes, thinly sliced
1 orange, halved and thinly sliced
6 spiced hibiscus tea bags (such as Red Zinger)
1 12-oz. can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed (strained, if desired)
2 L ginger ale, chilled
2 12-oz. cans seltzer, chilled
1/4 cup grenadine

Directions

1. Step 1Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Drain the cherries; reserve the juice in the refrigerator (you should have about 1 cup juice). Spread out the cherries, limes, and oranges on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
2. Step 2Bring 4 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags, and let steep 5 minutes. Discard the tea bags and let the tea cool, then refrigerate until cold.
3. Step 3When ready to serve, pour the tea and maraschino cherry juice into a punchbowl. Add the orange juice concentrate and stir to combine. Add the ginger ale, seltzer, and grenadine. Add the frozen cherries, limes, and oranges just before serving.
