Method
 

  1. Ensure all juices and ginger ale are thoroughly chilled before starting.

  3. Just before serving, slowly pour in the ginger ale to preserve carbonation.
  4. Add plenty of ice (or a pre-made ice ring) to the bowl.
  5. Garnish with fresh cranberries, lime slices, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.
  6. Ladle into glasses and serve immediately.
