Fizzy Fruit Punch

1. In a pitcher, toss cherries and orange slices with sugar. Stir in orange and cherry juices, cover, and refrigerate, stirring once, at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. When ready to serve, fill pitcher halfway with ice and stir in seltzer.

2. Serve in glasses over ice; garnish with more cherries and orange slices. (Or pour fruit-juice mixture into glasses over ice and top with seltzer, then garnish with more cherries and orange slices.)

Cook's Notes

We like Ceres brand guava and passion-fruit juices, and Ocean Spray tart-cherry juice, because none of them contain added sugar.

Substitute sliced strawberries for cherries, lemon slices and juice for orange, and guava juice for cherry juice.
