Cranberry Christmas Punch Ingredients

Christmas Punch raw ingredients that are labeled

For our recipe, you’ll need:

  • 1 can of frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 3 cans of ginger ale (or 36 ounces)
  • 4 cups of cranberry juice
  • 1 cup of pineapple juice
  • Orange slices, fresh cranberries, and/or mint leaves to garnish

Substitutions And Additions

JUICE: Substitute any kind of fruit juice concentrate in this simple Christmas punch. If you are using a 2-liter bottle of ginger ale, measure out the ginger ale using the empty can of juice concentrate. It’s a 1:1 substitute of water for ginger ale.

PRO TIP:

You need a 96-ounce pitcher for this festive holiday punch. You can halve the recipe for a smaller pitcher – remember to use just half of the frozen juice concentrate. The full recipe also makes a nice large quantity for filling a punch bowl.

How to Make this Christmas Punch with Ginger Ale

STEP ONE: Fill your glasses with ice cubes.

STEP TWO: In a large pitcher or large punch bowl, pour out the contents of the frozen juice concentrate.

STEP THREE: Instead of adding water to the juice concentrate, measure the ginger ale and add to the pitcher (3 cans or 36 ounces of ginger ale).

STEP FOUR: Add the cranberry juice and pineapple juice to the pitcher. Stir to mix frozen juice concentrate into the mixture.

PRO TIP:

The cranberry juice is what gives this delicious holiday punch its deep red color. If you want a deeper red punch, simply add additional cranberry juice – the flavor is still delicious.

How To Serve This Easy Christmas Punch Recipe

Not only would this sparkling Christmas punch be the perfect drink at your Christmas party, it would also be a huge hit on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.

Since ginger ale will lose its fizz after a couple of hours. Mix the punch up just before serving.

Likewise, ice will water down the punch as it melts. So be sure to add ice to the serving glasses instead of the pitcher. You can then serve immediately over the ice with cranberries, orange slices, and/or mint leaves for garnish.

How Do You Serve Punch At A Party?

One of the best ways to serve punch at your party is by using a large punch bowl. You can add slices of oranges or cranberries for a beautiful presentation. Add a ladle, as it will allow your guests to pour their own servings into their own glasses.

    This recipe for fruity Christmas punch was delicious!! I asked my sister to make it for my family while hosting Christmas dinner this year and it was bright and tasted so good. I’m not a fan of carbonation and it was just the right amount here. I wish I could attach a picture to show how beautiful it was
