Christmas Punch with Ginger Ale
This is a non alcoholic party punch, which is made with Ginger Ale. To make a sparkling punch, you don't need to add Prosecco or Champagne. The sparkle in this punch comes from the your favorite Ginger Ale. Popular for family gatherings, work parties, and of course Christmas and your favorite holiday.
Ingredients
This is an easy, non alcoholic Christmas Punch with Cranberries and Ginger Ale with few ingredients. It's not too sweet, too tangy and overpowered by fruit flavours. The right amount of sparkling from the Ginger Ale makes it the perfect Christmas party drink.
- Cranberry Juice - the juice base of the recipe
- Ginger Ale - adds fizz and sparkle
- Slices of Orange - for flavor
- Frozen Cranberries - to make it festive
- Fresh Rosemary Sprigs - as a green Christmas garnish
How to Make Non Alcoholic Punch
It's easy to make this recipe in advance, but only takes seconds to make! It's best to add Ginger Ale just before serving as you don't want to lose the fizzy sparkle.
- Pour Cranberry juice and Ginger Ale in a large punch bowl.
- Add the frozen cranberries, orange slices and ice.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary sprig and fruit on the glass rim.
Fruit Juices for Party Punch
There are many variations of juices that you can add to fruit punches. Mixing in citrus fruit juice add flavors, however they will make a cloudy punch. This Cranberry Punch is most festive when other citrus juices are not mixed in and it's served clear and sparkly.
For the perfect amount of citrus essence, slice an orange and add a few slices into the punch bowl. Don't take away from the hero of this recipe, the cranberry! However, if you want to add fruit juices (instead of slices), here are some popular suggestions.
- Orange Juice
- Pineapple Juice
- Grapefruit Juice
- Raspberry Juice
- Pomegranate Juice
- Apple Juice
Christmas Punch for a Crowd
How much does this punch recipe make? It's perfect for a crowd of people for a dinner party, baby shower, or even an office party. It makes a gallon of punch (4 litres), which serves about 10 people. Of course, that depends on how much they drink! A 1:1 ratio of cranberry and ginger ale makes it easy to add more or less to your punch bowl.
Alcoholic Cranberry Punch
Of course, not everyone wants a alcohol free punch, and some people make 2 versions of this recipe. One without alcohol, and another without. Here are some popular alcoholic spirits added to fruit punches.
- Prosecco or Sparkling Wine
- Vodka
- Rum
- Long Island Ice Tea Spirits
- Triple Sec
- Tequila
Cranberry Punch Garnish Tips
Frozen Cranberries are the perfect garnish for your Christmas punch because they really elevate your punch flavour for any occasion. Most supermarkets sell frozen cranberries year round.
- Fresh Rosemary Sprig - adds a holiday festive look to your glass (not the punch bowl)
- Fresh Mint - adds gentle flavor and tastes great
- Pink Grapefruit - great citrus flavor, add the punch or slice in a wedge on the glass
- Star Fruit - sliced star shaped fruit for the rim of your glass
