Thanksgiving is over but the holidays are still here, baby! It’s time to add a fun, festive cocktail to your menu for any/all holidays you’ll be celebrating this month.
My new favorite naughty & nice holiday punch is bright, bubbly and so pretty poured into cocktail glasses. It’s filled with super simple ingredients AKA no crazy bitters or syrups but has the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor.
Make a big batch for Christmas, your company holiday party, or New Year’s Eve, and get the party started!
Ingredients to make the Naughty & Nice Holiday Punch
Cranberry juice: the base of the punch is made with cranberry juice (not cranberry juice cocktail) which gives it plenty of sweetness and a festive red color.
Prosecco: bubbles, please! You’ll add a bottle of prosecco to give the punch its sparkle and more flavor.
Vodka: for a little extra “naughty” in this naughty & nice punch!
Lime juice: you’ll want to juice a full lime into the punch for a little tartness.
Fruit: I love adding frozen cranberries and orange slices to the bowl for garnish.
For serving: what’s a holiday punch without pretty glasses? Use lime wedges to coat the rim, then add granulated sugar and fresh rosemary sprigs to each glass.
Customize your punch
Choose your juice. I think a pomegranate cranberry juice would also be delicious in this punch. A regular juice brand like Ocean Spray is perfect.
Pick a seltzer. I used Spindrift Spiked Seltzer in the pineapple flavor, but feel free to use any flavor of hard seltzer that you like. Lime, pineapple, or a berry flavor would be great.
Add more “party.” Feel free to use up to 1 cup of vodka, or reduce it to 1/2 cup depending on how strong you want the punch.
How to make it
Mix up the punch. Add all of the ingredients (except the garnishes) to a l
Prep your glasses. Rim your serving glasses with a lime wedge so that they’re coated, then dip them in sugar to fully coat.
Pour & serve. Add ice to each glass if needed, and ladle in the punch. Garnish each glass with a fresh rosemary sprig and serve!
