Holiday Punch
Holiday Punch has a beautiful color for this time of year but it also has a bit of a tropical flavor. The pineapple gives it a tropical twist, so if you wan to pretend you’re somewhere warmer, this sparkling cranberry pineapple punch hits the spot! It makes it taste so refreshing and adds a bit of sunshine into these cold winter days.
Because this can be a kid friendly or an adult friendly holiday drink, I like to rim the glasses with white sanding sugar sprinkles. It makes the cup look so fancy and festive while still tasting good for all ages. Trick I’ve always used for lining the rim of cups involves a tiny thin layer of corn syrup. This stuff if very sticky so a tiny bit rubbed gently onto the rim of the glass is all you need!
This holiday season, instead of spending your time baking up some treats, why not give this Holiday punch a try? However you want to drink it, make certain that you pair it up with a giant helping of holiday cheer! You can pour in the Vodka or make it your new Non Alcoholic Christmas Punch Recipe.
You could even skip the 7-up and splash champagne in it for more of a mimosa style drink. This is one of our very favorite drinks for the holidays.
