Sparkling Cranberry Punch Ice Ring

This is Day 2 of The Organized Cook’s survival guide to cooking Thanksgiving Dinner for a large group.  My Sparkling Cranberry Punch is delicious and so easy to make; not to mention, it’s absolutely gorgeous!  You will need a large punch bowl and will want to freeze your cranberry ice ring ahead of time; and today is the perfect day to do it.  To make the ring, I use a plastic chip-and-dip server because it has the hole in the middle, like a bundt-cake pan.
