Christmas Punch

A festive and refreshing holiday punch combining cranberry juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, lemon-lime soda, and garnished with citrus slices, cranberries, pomegranate seeds, and rosemary. Optional addition of white rum gives it a boozy twist.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 orange, sliced, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup cranberries, plus more for garnish
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 cups cranberry juice (100% pure, unsweetened recommended)
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 2 cups lemon-lime soda (such as 7UP or Sprite)
  • 1 cup white rum (optional)
  • Ice
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add the slices from 1 orange, 1 cup cranberries, and ½ cup pomegranate seeds to a large pitcher or punch bowl.
  2. Pour in the cranberry juice, orange juice, and pomegranate juice. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda and ice to keep it bubbly and chilled.
  4. If desired, stir in the white rum for an adult version of the punch.
  5. Garnish with extra orange slices, cranberries, pomegranate seeds, and rosemary sprigs for a festive presentation.

Notes

For best results, chill all ingredients before mixing and add soda and ice last to prevent it from going flat. The rum is optional, so omit for a non-alcoholic version. Rosemary sprigs add a sophisticated holiday aroma and look.
