Party Punch Ingredients

This punch is perfect for holidays, birthdays, and really any gathering. The bold flavor of cranberry really pairs perfectly with the sparkling cider and ginger ale. Loved by kids and adults, you just cannot go wrong. EVERYONE will be asking for the recipe. Here is what you will need to get started:

  • Fruit Juice: We feel that cranberry juice gives it a bold punch of flavor that is a perfect pair with cider and ginger ale.
  • Sparkling Cider: Sparkling apple cider is preferred.
  • Ginger Ale: While I love a non-alcoholic punch with ginger ale, this can also be substituted for lemon lime soda.

If you love cranberry, be sure to try my Cranberry Champagne co*cktail. Only 2-ingredients and easy to make into a mocktail.

Easy Recipe For Punch

Entertaining does not have to be stressful. I keep a list of easy punch recipes on hand, but always come back to this three ingredient fave.

Picture this: The tartness of cranberry juice strikes the perfect balance with the sweetness of sparkling apple cider, creating a harmonious dance of fruity notes on your palate. But that’s not all – the zingy ginger ale adds a sparkling kick, elevating the refreshment factor to new heights. To top it off, a squeeze of lemon juice lends a hint of citrusy zing that ties everything together. The result? A delicious, effervescent blend that’s both tangy and sweet, with a refreshing twist.

  1. PREP: Chill all of your ingredients overnight.
  2. ICE: Add your ice to a large punch bowl or pitcher.
  3. MIX: Stir the cranberry juice, sparkling apple cider, ginger ale, and lemon juice with the ice.
  4. SERVE: Garnish with orange slices and cranberries.

Helpful Tools

  • Pitcher: For this recipe, it tastes best the longer it sits. Luckily, these littlejuice pitchers(affiliate) come with lids and are the perfect size for the side door in the refrigerator!
  • Measuring Cups: A quality set ofliquid measuring cups(affiliate) are an amazing addition to any kitchen! I’m a fan of these angled cups for so many reasons, but mostly because it’s so easy to see that liquid line as it fills.

Tips To Make Perfect Punch

  • Chill all of your ingredients before mixing. Even though we mix this drink over ice, it is less likely to melt and water down the drink if you start with the juices chilled.
  • Pick a bold base flavor. We started with cranberry blackberry as a base BUT we also really really love pomegranate blueberry. The two bold juices are where a majority of your flavor is going to come from. You can experiment with any juice but make sure it has a strong flavor and you pick a good brand. Since this drink has only a few ingredients you want to make sure they are quality.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit or mint. Adding fresh orange slices, cranberries, or mint gives a very elegant look to your simple recipe.

Recipe Notes:

Can you double this recipe?

Serving a crowd? This recipe is incredibly easy to double. I’ve included a little toggle in the recipe card that will adjust the ingredients for you.

Can I add alcohol to this punch?

Want to turn this into an easy party punch WITH alcohol? No problem!Adding alcohol to punch is fairly simple. You pick your choice of mix in (vodka is popular) and can do one of two things:
Add a shot to your glass and top off with your punch.
Or stir in 12 oz of vodka right into the punch bowl. I suggest you try blueberry vodka.

Can this be made in advance?

No. This punch is best made just before serving to help keep that bubbly freshness. You should, however, chill the ingredients well before mixing.

        I also wanted to ask, if I’m making it with blueberry pomegranate juice, what fruits would be best for garnishing? Thank you!

      • Jesseca says

        I would use blueberries, orange slices, and pomegranate seeds. Fresh mint might make a nice addition as well!
