Christmas Punch
Christmas Punch is a festive, fruity beverage blending cranberry and pineapple juices with a hint of almond extract and fizzy ginger ale. Fresh cranberries and lime slices add holiday color and subtle tartness. This cold drink offers a sweet, tangy, and effervescent refreshment suitable for gatherings and holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
- 6 cups cranberry juice or pomegranate cranberry juice
- 3 cups pineapple juice
- 1 Tbsp almond extract
- 3 liters ginger ale
- 1 (12 oz.) cranberries optional, fresh, in bag
- 2 lime sliced (optional, fresh
- ice
Instructions
- Pour cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and almond extract into a large drink dispenser and mix. Pour in ginger ale and give it one quick stir.
- Add in cranberries, ice and ginger ale. Serve within a few hours for best results as it will start to go flat.
Notes
- Use cranberry juice blends (e.g., Ocean Spray) rather than 100% cranberry juice to avoid excessive tartness.
- Chill juices and soda before mixing to minimize ice use and prevent dilution.
- Serve punch within a few hours to maintain ginger ale’s carbonation.
