You’ll need:

  • 2 cups of cranberry-pineapple juice blend
  • 1 cup of orange juice
  • 1 cup of lemon-lime soda (like 7Up or Sprite brands)
  • ½ cup of vodka
  • ½ cup of raspberry liqueur
  • ½ cup of 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

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

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.

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.

For a variety of fun and festive grown-up Christmas cocktails for your next party, try our drunken Rudolph and spiked hot chocolate, both tasty adult hot chocolate drink recipes.

Storing This Alcoholic Christmas Punch

MAKE-AHEAD: You can make a huge batch of this festive drink and then keep it in a covered and spouted container, in the refrigerator, for up to three days.

Just be mindful that if you are making it ahead of time, remember to only add the lemon-lime soda and ice when you are ready to serve.

    We would substitute to ginger ale or sprite. We def will do Rudolph drunk, grinch punch, pineapple rum punch orange sherbet punch and Christmas morning punch. They all sounds very good and delicious. I think we are going try that today. Thank you for all the recipes.
