Simple Holiday Punch

 

Simple Holiday Punch

If you’re looking for a quick and easy punch recipe that works for everything from holiday parties to summer picnics to business luncheons to bridal showers, THIS recipe is it!

PREP TIME

5 minutes

TOTAL TIME

5 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 liter lemon-lime soda
• 48 oz. White Grape Juice
• Frozen fruit or ice ring (optional)

Instructions

For the Optional Ice Mold:

1. Find a mold that could fit inside the container you will eventually use for the punch, otherwise, you won’t be able to get the ice ring into the container (yes, I learned this the hard way!!)
2. Fill the mold 1/4 full with white grape juice, 1/4 with pop, and 1/4 with cranberries — leaving about 1/4 of the container empty with room for expansion when it freezes. You could use water, but I prefer using pop and juice so the punch doesn’t get watered down.
3. Place on a flat surface in the freezer for several hours (overnight is best).

For the Punch:

1. Pour pop and white grape juice into a large beverage server or a punch bowl.
2. Add frozen fruit or ice ring (prepared the night before)
3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I use frozen fruit so it keeps the punch cold for longer, and I usually try to coordinate the fruit with the “colors” for the event. For example, I’ll use cranberries and limes for Christmas, blueberries for a boy’s baby shower, and lemons for a summer picnic. The fruit doesn’t add much of a taste, it’s just for looks!
