Christmas Morning Punch

Christmas Morning Punch


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cranberry juice (unsweetened for a tangy flavor or sweetened for a richer taste)
  • 3 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 2 cups ginger ale or lemon-lime soda
  • 1 cup sparkling water (optional for added fizz)
  • 1/2 cup grenadine syrup
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries (optional for garnish)
  • Ice cubes or a decorative ice ring

Instructions

Step 1:
In a large punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice. Stir well to blend the flavors evenly.

Step 2:
Slowly pour in the ginger ale and sparkling water (if using), stirring gently to retain the carbonation.

Step 3:
Drizzle the grenadine syrup into the punch bowl. Allow it to sink to the bottom, creating a layered effect of vibrant red.

Step 4:
Add the orange, lemon, and lime slices, along with fresh cranberries, for a festive and decorative touch.

Step 5:
Chill the punch in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. If desired, add ice cubes or a decorative ice ring just before serving to keep the punch cool without diluting the flavor.

Notes

  • For a visually stunning presentation, freeze orange, lemon, and lime slices with cranberries in a ring mold filled with water or juice to create a festive ice ring.
  • Use clear or decorative glasses to highlight the punch’s vibrant colors.
