Notes

Recipe Notes:
  • Prep the base (juices) the night before, then add soda right before serving for the best fizz.
  • Freeze some of the punch in ice cube trays to keep it cold without watering it down.
  • Swap Sprite for ginger ale if you want a slightly spicier, less sweet flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh cranberries, orange slices, and even sprigs of rosemary for a festive touch.
Keep it cold. Guests will drink about 2-3 glasses of punch during an event so plan for 20 ounces per person. Don’t make it all at once, instead have the ingredients on hand to whip up more batches as needed.
How much punch do I need for a party? Guests will drink about 2-3 glasses of punch during an event so plan for 20 ounces per person. Don’t make it all at once, instead have the ingredients on hand to whip up more batches as needed.
Store leftover holiday punch in the fridge. Due to the carbonation, this drink will eventually go flat, but it is safe to drink for 3-4 days.
