Ingredients
- 6 cups cranberry juice (1.44L)
- 2 cups pomegranate juice (480ml)
- 2 cups orange juice (480ml)
- 1 liter ginger ale
- 2 cups vodka (rum works as well)
- Orange slices for garnish
- fresh cranberries for garnish
Instructions
- Chill all of the ingredients well.
- Combine the juices, ginger ale, and vodka in a large punch bowl. Garnish with orange slices and fresh cranberries. Serve in glasses filled with ice.
Notes
- Chill the ingredients first. If the ingredients are cold before preparing the punch, you won’t need to add ice cubes to the punch bowl to keep it cool, which can dilute the flavors!
- Serve the punch with ice. Though you can serve punch on ice if you need to keep it cold during your Christmas parties, it can dilute the flavors if added to the entire punch bowl. This is why I make the punch without the ice and serve it in individual cups filled with ice.
- Don’t skip the garnishes. I highly recommend including fresh cranberries and orange slices as the garnish for both flavor and festive presentation. Additionally, you can add pomegranate seeds, fresh rosemary sprigs, or cinnamon sticks.
- Optional variations. If you want to sweeten up the punch without added sugar, add some pineapple juice or apple cider to taste. Additionally, you can substitute the ginger ale with ginger beer for more spice, or add a few tablespoons of lime juice or lemon juice or a stronger lemon-lime soda for a more citrusy flavor.
- Optional: make a non-alcoholic version. Turn alcoholic Christmas punch into an alcohol-free drink the whole family can enjoy by swapping the vodka or rum for apple cider, pineapple juice, or sparking apple cider.
