Ingredients for this Christmas punch recipe

This Christmas punch recipe is incredibly easy with minimal ingredients. It’s perfect for stress-free holiday entertainment! When it comes to punch, we’ve found that nothing beats. After a few tweaks, we found the perfect combination of juice, fizzy bubbles, and optional alcohol. Here’s what you need:

• 100% Cranberry Juice Blend: Available at most grocery stores, this juice blend usually blends grape, apple, and pear juice with cranberry juice. Be sure to look for “100% juice” or “no added sugar” on the label.
• pineapple juice: Just add the right tropical flair! Pineapple is great for punch recipes.
• Ginger Ale: The ginger ale adds just the right amount of carbon dioxide! It’s sweeter than ginger beer, which would also work, but gives a spicier ginger flavor.
• Rum: That makes it a Christmas punch with alcohol! But it also tastes good without non-alcoholic punch. Speaking of…

Do it with alcohol or without alcohol

Of course, you can also add the alcohol directly to the Christmas punch! But if you have kids, it’s okay to allow drinkers to brown the drink afterwards. This offers the most flexibility: you can serve an alcoholic and non-alcoholic punch at practically the same time!

• Pour the rum into the punch bowl. If you’re serving all the adults, throw the rum straight in.
• Or spice up the drink afterwards! The best way to make an alcoholic Christmas punch is to brown the drink after removing it from the punch bowl. It works for both kids and adults! The best ratio is 2 ounces of rum to 8 ounces (1 cup) of punch.
• Another alcohol that works? Bourbon also works well in this Christmas punch recipe.
• Or make a non-alcoholic punch out of it! It’s just as good (really).

Ways to garnish the dish

The best thing about a good Christmas punch recipe? All toppings! Nice toppings float on a good punch. Here are some of our favorite ideas:

• Sliced ​​citrus fruits: orange, lemon or lime
• pineapple rings
• Whole spices: star anise, cinnamon sticks or cloves
• sprigs of rosemary
• Fresh or frozen berries: cranberries, raspberries or blackberries

Tips for serving the Christmas punch: Save the bubbles!

This Christmas punch only takes a few minutes to prepare. But if you want to prep certain items ahead of time, here’s how!

• Cool liquids beforehand. Adding ice will dilute it too much, so chill before serving.
• Slice the citrus fruits and assemble the toppings. Make sure you have everything on hand. Refrigerate citrus fruits until ready to serve.
• Add ginger ale just before serving. You can pour it all into the bowl, but try adding the ginger ale just before serving. This way you will get the best bubbles!
