In a medium-sized saucepan, combine cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and brown sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Add the lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and whole cloves to the mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, add the orange slices and cinnamon stick to the pan. Reduce the heat to low and let the flavors steep for 10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cloves, orange slices, and cinnamon stick.
Serve the hot beverage immediately in mugs or heatproof cups. Garnish with an additional orange slice or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
