Description
A vibrant, festive punch that combines tart cranberries, sweet pomegranate, and sparkling soda for a holiday sip that’s as magical as Santa’s sleigh ride.
Ingredients
3 cups cranberry juice (chilled)
2 cups pomegranate juice (chilled)
1 cup orange juice (chilled)
1 liter lemon-lime soda (chilled)
1/2 cup grenadine syrup (for added sweetness and color)
Ice cubes
Garnishes
Fresh cranberries
Pomegranate arils
Orange slices
Rosemary sprigs (for a festive touch)
Edible glitter (optional, for sparkle)
Instructions
Prepare the Base:
In a large punch bowl, combine cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, and orange juice. Stir well to mix the flavors.
Sweeten It Up:
Add grenadine syrup and gently stir. Adjust the sweetness by adding more syrup if needed.
Add the Bubbles:
Just before serving, pour in the lemon-lime soda for a fizzy finish. Stir lightly to keep the carbonation intact.
Garnish:
Float fresh cranberries, pomegranate arils, and orange slices on top of the punch. Place a few rosemary sprigs for a festive, aromatic touch. Sprinkle with edible glitter if desired.
Serve:
Ladle the punch into glasses over ice and garnish with a rosemary sprig or a skewer of cranberries for individual servings.
Notes
Make Ahead: Mix the juices and grenadine ahead of time and refrigerate. Add the soda just before serving to keep it bubbly.
Chill Without Dilution: Use frozen cranberries or pomegranate arils as decorative ice cubes.
