Every good holiday party needs a delicious punch, and this jingle juice is my favorite thing to make for a crowd! It’s a festive Christmas take on typical jungle juice, mixing lots of delicious ingredients into one tasty beverage. This cranberry punch is mixed with vodka, triple sec, and sparkling rose, along with some other ingredients to add even more flavor. It’s sure to please everyone who tries it!
Ingredients for Christmas Jingle Juice
- Cranberry Apple Juice: This juice helps fill up the punch and balance out the liquor. More a more tart cocktail, use pure cranberry juice instead.
- Sparkling Rose: This adds a fizzy finish. You can use prosecco, champagne, sparkling cider, or sparkling grape juice instead.
- Vodka: Vodka is my preferred liquor for this drink, but you can use white rum, tequila, or gin instead. You can also leave it out for a slightly less boozy punch.
- Triple Sec: In place of the triple sec, you can use Cointreau or orange juice.
- Lemon Lime Soda: Any lemon lime soda will do. This adds a bright, zippy, carbonated element to the punch.
- Frozen Cranberries: Stirring in frozen cranberries helps keep the jungle juice cold.
- Limes: Use fresh limes to wet the rim of the glasses.
- Sugar: Dip glasses in granulated sugar for a sweet kick to each sip.
Scaling Down
This jingle juice punch recipe serves 12-14 guests. If I have a smaller crowd, I scale down the recipe for 6-7 guests by halving all of the ingredients.
How to Store
Store leftover jingle juice in a pitcher or an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Keep in mind that the soda may turn flat. If you’d like to prepare this a little bit ahead of time, I recommend leaving out the sparkling rose, and stirring it in just before serving.
