Christmas morning is a time for excitement and anticipation and a batch of this Christmas morning punch is a great way to add some holiday cheer to your day. The adults will love sipping on the fruity and fizzy blend of fruit juices, and lemon-lime soda with that little extra kick of vodka and raspberry liqueur.
Christmas Morning Punch Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 2 cups cranberry-pineapple juice blend
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (like 7Up or Sprite brands)
- ½ cup vodka
- ½ cup raspberry liqueur
- ½ cup grenadine
- Ice for the glass
- Fresh orange slices for garnish
PRO TIP:
This is a great recipe that can be modified according to your taste. For example, if you can not find a cranberry-pineapple juice blend, then you can just use equal parts cranberry juice and pineapple juice. You can also substitute the lemon-lime soda for ginger ale or plain sparkling water. You can also adjust the proportions of each ingredient in this Christmas punch recipe.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
RASPBERRY LIQUEUR: If you want to save some money at the liquor store, you can buy raspberry-infused vodka (instead of the two separate items) for this alcoholic beverage. I don’t suggest skipping the grenadine, though, because it gives this easy Christmas punch that beautiful color and a touch of sweetness to cut through the citrus juices.
How To Make This Christmas Morning Punch Recipe
PRO TIP:
This is a small-batch cocktail, so if you plan on serving it to a lot of guests during the holiday season, then it is very easy to double or triple this holiday punch recipe to make a big batch in a large bowl to serve your guests.
STEP ONE: In a 1.5-liter pitcher or punch bowl, combine the cranberry-pineapple juice blend and orange juice.
STEP TWO: Pour in the lemon-lime soda and vodka.
STEP THREE: Pour in raspberry liqueur.
STEP FOUR: Add the grenadine and stir well.
STEP FIVE: Top with ice cubes and garnish with slices of oranges.
PRO TIP:
You could also add fresh cranberries to your punch bowl or large pitcher for a bright pop of color.
How To Serve
Add this delightful drink to your holiday festivities along with a warm batch of caramel pecan cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast. For the little ones, try our Christmas punch, which is just as delicious and fizzy without the alcohol added.
This festive holiday punch should be served chilled. You can make it ahead of time; however, I suggest waiting until you are ready to serve it to add the lemon-lime soda and ice to the rest of the punch ingredients. You want the soda to give that needed little bit of freshness, and you do not want your ice to water down your Christmas morning punch before you are ready to serve and drink.
