Happy Holiday Cocktail Saturday everyone! Are we starting to get excited for all the upcoming Christmas parties? I know many have already begun! I had my first of the season just yesterday. And while the drinks were flowing, the party could have used a good punch!

After sharing my Thanksgiving punch a few weeks ago, I knew I wanted to create a punch that would be perfect for Christmas!

This punch is exactly that, it’s Christmastime in a cup! Or Christmastime in a punch bowl!

The details

What’s amazing about most punch recipes is just how simple they are. I didn’t want this to be fussy at all, so nothing fancy here!

It’s a mix of everything we love most about wintertime and the holidays.

First, mix up the base punch mix. Pomegranate juice, orange juice – preferably fresh, and cranberry juice. Oh, and lime juice too! Make sure each juice has no added sugar.

Then the liquor, a mix of Cointreau (orange liquor) and vodka. Add the juices to a big punch bowl. Then stir in fresh rosemary. At this point, the mix can be chilled until you’re ready to serve.

Just before serving, pour over your favorite bottle of champagne and spicy, sweet ginger beer. I then mix in orange slices and pomegranate seeds.

For serving, I add sugared cranberry and garnish each drink with fresh rosemary.

This Christmas-time punch is perfect for any and all of your upcoming parties. But it’s also great to enjoy with a small group of family or friends. I love that it’s not loaded with added sugars like most punch recipes. Plus, it is SO EASY to make.

For friends who don’t drink, you’ve still got them covered, simply make the mocktail variation!

I hope you all enjoy this very fun drink and that it brings plenty of holiday cheer to your festive night!

    Made this for a Christmas party this weekend – huge hit! Several people asked for the recipe so I sent them the link to this page.

  2. How would you recommend making this as one recipe, but giving people the option to make it alcoholic or not? Could you just make the punch then put the champagne and sparkling grape juice/sparkling cranberry apple to the side?
