Cran-Dandy Cooler

  4.6 – 44 reviews  • Non-Alcoholic Punch Recipes

A sweet and sour sauce is swiftly stir-fried with firm tofu, bell pepper, and red onion. This is very spicy, so proceed with caution! Reduce or remove the pepper flakes if you like dishes that are milder in flavor.

This is a delicious, non-alcoholic summer drink that was enjoyed by the whole family!
Shawn Medina
A really refreshing drink to be enjoy by all the family. I think you can even make an adult version if you add some vodka.

6.7.20 This is very similar to punch, and I like that you can taste every single fruit juice in it. It definitely is sweet, and the only change that I made was first, substituting tonic water for the ginger ale (what I had on hand, it was fizzy), and second, I added more tonic to dilute the sweetness a little (personal taste here). Enjoyed it!
Jeremy Miller
Will definitely make again!

This is a great mocktail! I happened to have pineapple juice on hand so I tried it. I didn’t have orange juice but I had two oranges for fresh squeezed juice. I make a lemon simple syrup so I added that and club soda in place of the lemon lime soda. That way I can adjust the sweetness.

This drink was a hit at a small get together with my pregnant and/or breastfeeding friends. I didn’t have a 4oz jar of cherries so I substituted grenadine instead.
Keith Wilson
I added a Coconut Rum (to taste) and my guests loved it!
Seth Gill
I used this at a jewelry party at my home and received several compliments. My husband and I enjoyed what was left the next day with some rum added. It’s great for kids or as an adult beverage. I might make it again this summer just for evenings on our patio.
Austin Lara
Great beverage! I am always looking for fun nonalcoholic drinks to enjoy. This drink has everything I enjoy all in one glass! I will definitely use this recipe for future gatherings!
Theresa Cabrera
This is good! And easy! The splash of cherry juice gives the whole thing a nice color.
Ryan Reese
This is really refreshing. I didn’t have any OJ so I used tropical V-8 splash instead. I also omitted the lemon juice and sub. sprite for ginger ale. What a great fruit juice drink. Thanks!!
Scott Norton
This was awesome. Sweet, but awesome. The cranberry juice added the necessary balance to the sweetness.
Nancy Patel
Excellent and easy to make. I don’t normally like cranberry juice, but I gave it a shot and it turned out good – more sweet than tart.
Dawn Matthews
Delish! Served in sugar rimmed glasses and added the cherry juice to each glass individually to top it off – layered look is beautiful!
Dwayne Atkinson
Very refreshing…don’t know why mine turned out cloudy and salmon-colored but still tastes good!
Dominique Caldwell
I doubled the recipe to begin with, and then I had to make another double batch because my guests loved it so much!
Jason Johnson
Not bad, but not what I expected either. I think there is too much ginger ale for my liking.
Patricia Dawson
Pretty good. Would make again. In blender it creates a lot of foam from the gingerale, but it is still tasty.
Pamela Becker
A nice recipe that was easy to make and well received.
Michele Myers
Very good. I added cherry juice and ginger ale when ready to serve and garnished with cherries.
Deborah Obrien
Very good! I made this for dinner when our pregnant friend was coming over and we wanted to serve something more interesting than just soda. I doubled the recipe and the four of us drank it all over the course of the evening! I didn’t add the cherry juice, but followed the rest if the recipe exactly. I don’t know how people got caramel brown, my punch was that pretty pink color. Maybe you added too much OJ? I used the no-pulp stuff and it worked well. Thanks!
