16-oz. jar maraschino cherries
3
limes, thinly sliced

12-oz. can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed (strained, if desired)

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.

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.
