Ingredients
- 2 cups pomegranate juice chilled (unsweetened)
- 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail chilled
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 cup orange-flavored liqueur like Cointreau or Grand Marnier
- 1 cup club soda chilled
- ½ cup lemon juice fresh squeezed (about 2-3 lemons)
- ½ cup simple syrup
- Garnish with cranberries and rosemary frozen in ice cube molds or with slices of oranges
Instructions
- Measure out the pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, vodka, and orange-flavored liqueur, pouring in a pitcher (make sure it holds at least 64 ounces).
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and chill under ready to serve. Just before serving, pour in chilled club soda and add decorative ice cubes if made.
- Serve with ice or make enough ice molds for everyone to have one, a large ice cube melts slower and dilutes the drinks less. See my tips below for how to make your own ice molds.
- This recipe easily doubles or triples! Store leftovers in fridge for up to 4-5 days. When ready to enjoy again, add a fresh splash of club soda.

Notes
- Besides following the above substitutions to make this pomegranate punch non-alcoholic, you could also set up a drink station with a little sign of instructions for those who do not drink and those who prefer it fully loaded.
- To add some "jingle" to your "juice", pour in 1 oz vodka and 1 oz orange liqueur, stir and enjoy.
- For a Merry Mocktail add 1-2 ounces orange juice, finishing with a splash of club soda or ginger ale.
- Make sure all of your ingredients are well chilled before assembling the punch.
- If you forgot to chill your ingredients, quick chill them in the freezer; measure ingredients into individual containers and place on a cookie sheet in your freezer for 30 minutes.
- If time, assemble your punch except the club soda and place in container or pitcher in the fridge.
- Add ice and club soda just prior to serving
- Serve with a variety of cocktail glasses and pretty ice molds for a festive holiday pomegranate cocktail.
- For a less sweet cocktail, try using 100% cranberry juice, unsweetened, it’s dark, tart and amazing tasting!
- Skinny pomegranate cocktail; replace the simple syrup with a sugar-free simple syrup; omit the orange liqueur and replace with additional club soda. Even better, try my friend Sandra’s Sugar-Free Grenadine Simple Syrup recipe.
- Pomegranate Punch Non-Alcoholic Version | Replace the vodka and orange flavored liqueur with the following: 1 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed would be amazing), additional 1 cup cranberry juice and additional 1 cup club soda or for a sweeter version, use Ginger Ale or Sprite in place of Club Soda.
- Make up the punch; leaving out the vodka and orange liqueur, including the club soda
- Provide bottle of vodka, orange liqueur and fresh orange juice plus extra club soda or ginger ale
- Put out two mini measuring cups (one for the alcohol and one for non-alcoholic add-ins)
- Make a sign that says something like this:
