This NYE punch will give your evening a striking start. The carved fruit, light fizz, and glitter powder create a drink that immediately attracts attention as soon as it is placed on the table. It is simple to prepare, but the result looks as if you have spent a lot more time on it.

Ingredients

• 1 small pineapple
• 1 melon
• 500 ml orange juice
• 250 ml ginger ale
• 300 ml rum
• 100 ml sugar syrup
• Edible glitter powder
• 1 lime, cut into thin slices
• Ice cubes

Supplies 

• Large punch bowl or spacious jug
• Star-shaped baking molds
• Cutting board
• Knife 
• Stirring spoon
• Cocktail glasses

Preparation

• Slice the pineapple and melon and cut out star shapes. Set the fruit aside so that it retains its shape. 
• Fill the punch bowl with ice cubes and pour in the orange juice, ginger ale, rum, and sugar syrup. Stir gently until everything is well mixed. 
• Add the fruit stars and sprinkle the bowl with a little edible glitter powder. Stir again so that the glitter is evenly distributed. 
• Pour the punch directly into the glasses and garnish each glass with a thin slice of lime. 

When the bowl is empty, the fresh taste and light sparkling effect linger. It is a simple punch that is easy to make again and gives every glass that little bit extra. Serve well chilled and enjoy a clear, not too sweet end to the year together.
