This Christmas champagne punch is the perfect cocktail for the holidays. Made with cranberry juice, pink lemonade, and limeade, it’s fizzy, tart, colorful, and so delicious. It’s so easy to make up a pitcherful in minutes, and it’s even better with a little lime sherbet on top. I love to serve this refreshing cocktail to offset a heavy holiday meal.
This Christmas champagne punch is so refreshing and delicious. I guarantee it’ll get everyone in the holiday spirit with its contrasting red and green colors. It’s super easy to make non-alcoholic for the kiddos, too! Just leave out the champagne and only add it to the adults’ glasses. May your holidays be filled with friends, food, and festive cocktails!
What’s in This Christmas Champagne Punch Recipe?
- Frozen Cranberry Juice Concentrate: Adds cranberry flavor to the drink.
- Frozen Pink Lemonade Concentrate: Adds lemonade flavor to the drink.
- Frozen Limeade Concentrate: Adds limeade flavor to the drink.
- Champagne: Makes the drink bubbly and pleasantly alcoholic. I used brut champagne to keep this drink from being too sweet, but dry champagne, cava, or prosecco will work.
- Club Soda: Enhances the fizzy quality of the drink and helps dilute the concentrates.
Tips for Success
- For the best results, I recommend pre-chilling all of the ingredients.
- I don’t recommend adding ice to the pitcher, as this will dilute the drink. Instead, add ice to individual glasses before pouring.
- For a virgin variety of this delicious drink, simply omit the champagne. You could mix in a can of lemon-lime soda or ginger beer if you want, or leave it out. There are still plenty of delicious flavors happening in this drink to please the taste buds.
How to Store
Because this cranberry champagne punch is sparkling, it’s best not to make it too far ahead of time or it will lose its fizz. You can mix the concentrates and water ahead of time and keep it covered in the fridge, then, just add the champagne and soda water when you are ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve this Christmas champagne punch as is, but I like to make it a little extra special by topping the glasses with lime sherbert and a wedge of fresh lime. To make the glasses more festive, you could add a sugar rim before pouring the drinks or pop in a few sugared cranberries.
