Ingredients
Scale
Juices
- 4 cups cranberry juice (100% juice)
- 4 cups sparkling white grape juice, chilled
- 2 cups ginger ale, chilled
- 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/2 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
Syrups
- 1/4 cup grenadine syrup
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
Garnishes

Instructions
- Combine liquids: In a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser, mix together cranberry juice, sparkling white grape juice, ginger ale, fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice, and grenadine syrup to create the base of the punch.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the punch and add simple syrup gradually, starting with 1/4 cup, to reach your preferred sweetness level without overpowering the natural flavors.
- Mix gently: Stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients, taking care not to stir too vigorously so the carbonation from the sparkling grape juice and ginger ale remains intact.
- Add ice: Just before serving, add ice to the punch bowl or dispenser to chill the punch perfectly without diluting it prematurely.
- Garnish: Decorate the punch with fresh orange slices, skewered cranberries, and sprigs of rosemary to enhance the holiday presentation and add aromatic notes.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the punch immediately in glasses and enjoy a festive, refreshing non-alcoholic drink that is perfect for holiday celebrations.
Notes
- Use 100% cranberry juice for a natural tart flavor and avoid sweetened blends.
- Chill sparkling white grape juice and ginger ale beforehand for best results.
- Adjust simple syrup according to your taste preference; you can omit it if the natural juices provide enough sweetness.
- For a more festive look, freeze cranberries in ice cubes ahead of time.
- This punch is best consumed shortly after preparation to maintain carbonation and freshness.
