Ingredients

To make the perfect Jingle Juice, here’s what you’ll need:

1 cup cranberry juice – Adds a tart, holiday red color that’s perfect for the season.
1 cup pineapple juice – Brings sweetness and a tropical note to the mix.
1 cup orange juice – For a balanced citrus flavor that complements the other juices.
2 cups vodka – Classic vodka works great, but feel free to use your favorite brand.
1 cup sparkling wine or club soda – Adds effervescence to make the drink pop; substitute with ginger ale for a sweeter twist.
1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur – For added depth and a hint of orange flavor.
Ice, as needed – To keep the drink chilled.
1 cup fresh cranberries – For garnish and a splash of red color.
1 orange, sliced – Adds a festive touch when floating on top.
1/2 cup pomegranate arils (optional) – A colorful garnish that’s both decorative and tasty.
Fresh rosemary sprigs – Adds aroma and holiday flair to each glass.

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Chill all ingredients beforehand. The punch will stay colder longer and taste refreshing without needing an excessive amount of ice, which can dilute the flavors over time.

Step 2: In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Stir the juices well to blend their flavors.

Step 3: Add vodka and triple sec to the juice mixture, stirring again to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 4: Add a generous amount of ice to the punch bowl. This keeps the punch cold while adding a slight dilution over time, which helps balance the drink.

Step 5: Just before serving, pour in the sparkling wine or club soda. Stir gently to keep the bubbles intact and retain the drink’s sparkle.

Step 6: For a beautiful presentation, garnish your Jingle Juice with fresh cranberries, orange slices, pomegranate arils, and rosemary sprigs. These colorful additions make the punch look festive and elegant, adding natural red and green accents.

Notes

When making Jingle Juice, timing is key. Mix the ingredients right before serving, especially the sparkling wine or club soda. If you prepare it too early, the bubbles may dissipate, and the punch could lose some of its refreshing fizz. However, you can mix the juices, vodka, and triple sec ahead of time, then add the sparkling components right when guests are ready to enjoy.

If you have any leftover Jingle Juice (which is rare!), store it in a sealed container in the fridge. It’s best consumed within 24 hours.
