Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Garnishes

  • 1 orange, sliced (plus more slices for garnish)
  • 1 cup cranberries (plus more for garnish)
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Juices and Liquids

  • 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)

Alcohol (Optional)

  • 1 cup white rum (optional)

Others

  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruits: Add the slices from 1 orange, 1 cup cranberries, and ½ cup pomegranate seeds to a large pitcher or punch bowl. If using a larger vessel such as a gallon-sized bowl or dispenser, consider doubling the recipe.
  2. Mix the juices and soda: Pour in 2 cups cranberry juice, 2 cups orange juice, 1 cup pomegranate juice, and 2 cups lemon-lime soda into the bowl with the fruit mixture. For an alcoholic version, add 1 cup white rum or alcohol of your choice.
  3. Serve and garnish: Serve the punch in glasses over ice. Garnish each glass with fresh rosemary sprigs, extra orange slices, and cranberries. To elevate the presentation, consider making Christmas-themed ice cubes by freezing cranberries and pomegranate seeds in ice trays.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the white rum; this punch is delicious and refreshing on its own.
  • Use fresh juices whenever possible for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • The punch can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated; add soda and ice just before serving to keep it fizzy and cold.
  • Adjust sweetness by selecting either regular or unsweetened juices and soda based on your preference.
  • Make festive ice cubes by freezing cranberries and pomegranate seeds in water or juice for an extra holiday touch.
