Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) sparkling white wine, chilled
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/2 cup spiced rum (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 orange, thinly sliced for garnish
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
- Rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Chill all liquid ingredients thoroughly before starting.
- In a very large punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, spiced rum (if using), lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir well.
- Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled sparkling white wine. Stir gently to combine without losing too much fizz.
- Garnish the punch with thin orange slices, fresh cranberries, and rosemary sprigs floating on top.
- Serve immediately in glasses filled with ice.
Notes
- You can make the juice base mixture ahead of time, but wait to add the sparkling wine until right before guests arrive to keep it bubbly.
- Taste the base mixture before adding the wine; adjust simple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the sparkling wine with chilled ginger ale or sparkling white grape juice.
