Star Punch

1 64 oz cranberry juice (can be cranapple if you can't find sparkling cider)
1 24 oz bottle cold sparkling cider
1 1 liter bottle ginger ale
1 orange washed
1 16 oz bag frozen strawberries, raspberries or blend (optional)
star anise fruit (optional)

Combine all liquids except for 1 cup of cranberry juice if wanting the anise flavor into a punch bowl.

Cute orange in half and squeeze juice of 1/2 the orange into liquid.  Slice other half and garnish on top.

Place frozen berries in punch bowl or make into a circular shape by arranging in bundt pan with some water and freeze.  Place flat side down in punch bowl after frozen.

Hint of anise flavor: Place 3-4 slices star fruit in saucepan  with reserved cranberry juice and bring to a simmer.  Remove from and pour into glass and allow to cool. Refrigerate until cool and stir into punch. 

For a nice fun star theme place a slice of star anise into glass as a garnish.
