Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 4 cups cranberry-apple juice
- 1 bottle sparkling Rosé (or Prosecco)
- 1½ cups vodka
- ½ cup triple sec (or Cointreau)
- 1 liter lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite, 7-up, or Sierra Mist)
Additional Ingredients
- 1-2 cups frozen cranberries
- 2 limes (sliced)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a punch bowl, beverage dispenser, or large pitcher, combine the cranberry-apple juice, sparkling rosé, vodka, triple sec (or Cointreau), and lemon-lime soda. This mixture forms the flavorful and vibrant base of your Jingle Juice.
- Add the Frozen Cranberries: Stir in the 1-2 cups of frozen cranberries, which will chill the punch and add bursts of fruity flavor and attractive color.
- Prepare the Glass Rims: Use lime slices to moisten the rims of your cocktail glasses. This will help the sugar adhere to the glasses and add a slight citrus aroma with each sip.
- Sugar the Glass Rims: Dip the moistened rims into granulated sugar, coating the edges evenly for a sparkly, sweet finish that complements the tart punch.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour or ladle the Jingle Juice into the prepared glasses. Garnish each drink with additional frozen cranberries, lime wedges, and a sprig of rosemary for festive flair and aroma.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and triple sec and substitute sparkling water for the sparkling rosé.
- You can prepare the punch several hours ahead and keep it chilled in the refrigerator until serving.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less granulated sugar on the rims or adding simple syrup to the punch if desired.
- Frozen cranberries help chill the punch without watering it down as ice would.
- Rosemary garnish adds a festive, piney scent but can be omitted if preferred.
