Storage Instructions

Cranberry punch tastes best when served fresh. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. The carbonation will quickly dissipate, but it will still retain a great flavor.

Can I Add Any Other Flavors to This Punch?

Christmas punches come in all shapes and sizes. You can try a lot of different versions of this with different types of drinks. Try substituting the sprite for ginger ale, sparkling cider, or a bubbly wine.

Consider swapping out the grapefruit juice for pineapple juice, or adding some pink lemonade or pomegranate juice. Also, try this with lime sherbert.

What Kind of Cranberry Juice Should I Use?

Make sure you use a sweetened 100% cranberry juice. If it includes other flavors, it won’t end up tasting the same, and if it’s unsweetened, it will be too tart.

But, if you get the wrong kind of cranberry juice, stir in ¼ cup simple syrup or ¾ cup sprite for additional sweetness.

What Do I Do if I am Serving a Really Large Party?

This recipe is meant to serve a small family. If you are serving a large amount of people, I would double, or even triple the recipe.

Can I Spike this Christmas Punch?

Absolutely! If you want to spike this punch, I suggest sparkling wine for a little bubbly, white rum, or vodka. Add 1 cup of whatever liquor you prefer.
