Christmas Punch Mocktail
I created this mocktail during a holiday brunch when I wanted something elegant that everyone could enjoy. Seeing guests refilling their glasses with big smiles made me realize that alcohol-free drinks can be just as festive and fun.
Equipment
- Large pitcher or punch bowl
- Glasses
Ingredients
For the Punch
- 1 orange sliced, plus more for garnish
- 1 cup cranberries plus more for garnish
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 cups cranberry juice Ocean Spray Pure Unsweetened 100% juice recommended
- 2 cups orange juice Simply, Natalie's, or Uncle Matt's brands recommended
- 1 cup pomegranate juice POM brand recommended
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda Starry, Sprite, or 7Up recommended
- 1 cup white rum optional
- As needed ice
For Garnish
- As needed fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- Add the slices from 1 orange, 1 cup cranberries, and 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds to a large pitcher or punch bowl. If you use a gallon-sized bowl or dispenser, you can double the recipe.
- Pour in 2 cups cranberry juice, 2 cups orange juice, 1 cup pomegranate juice, and 2 cups lemon-lime soda. You can add 1 cup white rum or alcohol of your choice if you are including it.
- Serve the punch in glasses over ice. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, extra orange slices, and cranberries.
