HOW TO MAKE HOLIDAY PUNCH FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

The recipe is super simple. In fact it isn’t a recipe really, more like an idea to bring your regular fruit punch to the next level this holiday season. In this festive punch there is sparkling juice and fruit. Beyond that, it’s a flexible and forgiving family drink that you can really play around with! In that spirit, think of this holiday punch recipe as a formula that you can easily adjust to suit your own tastes. You make this punch simply by combining:

• Fruit juice. I love how festive and beautiful it looks with cranberry juice or cranberry-pomegranate juice blend.
• Fruit. Citrus fruits, particularly oranges and limes are ideal. I also recommend, pomegranate arils and cranberries for this holiday punch, as they would look fabulous in a big, generous pitcher or punchbowl at the centre of your table.
• Fresh herbs. An addition of fresh rosemary and mint would be so refreshing and totally makes it look even more festive.
• Sparkling juice. Sparkling apple cider or sparkling blood orange juice are both great. You’ll love the added ginger ale as well. Add sparkling juices right before serving, so the punch stays bubbly. 
• Lots of ice. Keep all the ingredients chilled before making the punch. Frozen cranberries instead of fresh ones are great here as they keep the drink nice and chilled acting like little ice cubes.

Holiday punch is best served as soon as it has been mixed as the sparkling drinks will start to go flat. Combine regular juices with fruit and fresh herbs, then add the sparkling juices right before serving. 

I hope you’ll make your family this delicious drink, sit back, put on some festive music, enjoy the lights from the Christmas tree and relax. I feel like unwinding at the end of a very long and stressful year with a little bubbly is a wonderful treat, and this Holiday Punch for the whole family certainly fits the bill.
