Ingredients
- 6 cups cranberry juice or pomegranate cranberry juice (not cranberry juice cocktail), chilled
- 1 prosecco 750 milliliter bottle, chilled
- ¾ cup vodka chilled
- 3 hard seltzer 12 oz cans, I used Spindrift Spiked Seltzer pineapple flavor, chilled
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 cups cranberries frozen
- 1-2 orange thinly sliced
- For serving:
- 1-2 lime to coat the rim
- granulated sugar for coating rim
- rosemary fresh sprigs, for serving
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large punch bowl and stir together until well combined. Feel free to add ice if you need to, but we recommend having all ingredients chilled beforehand. The frozen cranberries will also help to keep the punch cold.
- Rim serving glasses with lime and then dip into sugar to fully coat. Add ice if desired and ladle punch into glasses. Enjoy! Serves 8-12.
Notes
- Use Ocean Spray or a similar quality cranberry juice for the best flavor base.
- Choose any preferred hard seltzer flavor to customize the punch's taste.
- Adjust vodka quantity from ½ cup to 1 cup depending on desired strength.
- Keep all ingredients chilled before mixing to serve the punch cold without excessive ice dilution.
