It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Holiday season is upon us, and that means family and friends get-together. Be the host with the most by going the extra mile and making some fun drinks! Now, making the perfect punch is all about a balance between great flavor combinations. Using our favorites – Simply® Cranberry Cocktail, Simply® Orange Pulp Free, and Sprite®, I’ve created drinks that are not too sweet, but are fruity and refreshing, perfect for your holiday party.

My two delicious mocktails and cocktails: Holiday Punch and Holiday Rum Punch not only have a vibrant red color, but includes fresh fruit. The vibrant red combined with the red from fresh cranberries and green from the fresh limes are the ultimate touch to a festive holiday party.

Want to know the most amazing part? This recipe incredibly simple! The fruit to garnish will surely make your glasses look like they came straight out of a magazine!

Simply® Cranberry Cocktail provides tart, while Simply® Orange Pulp Free gives you that freshly squeezed tang, and Sprite® gives the fizz. I bought all of my ingredients, including the pitcher, from my local Kroger! You can find your fresh ingredients in the produce section of the store.

Holiday Rum Punch

Ingredients

• 6 cups Simply® Cranberry Cocktail
• 3 cups Simply® Orange Pulp Free Juice
• 4 cups Sprite®
• 6 cups White Rum
• 4 Oranges (Sliced)
• 4 Limes (Sliced)
• 1/2 Pineapple (Sliced)
• 1 1 lb Bag Fresh Cranberries (Whole)
• 1 15 oz Can Pineapple Chunks (in Pineapple Juice)

Instructions

• Add cranberries and pineapple chunks with juice, as well as half of the orange, lime, pineapple slices to a pitcher or punch bowl.
• Pour in liquids, and mix. For best results, store in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.
• Use the rest of the orange, lime and pineapple slices to garnish glasses (Optional). Pour over ice.

Note: In this recipe, I use white rum. White rum tends to be sweet and more subtle, which is great for fruity drinks. Due to the aging process, dark rums tend to have a more distinct taste. Spiced rums also add a distinct flavor. If you can’t find white rum or would like try it with another type of rum or alcohol, remember that this can ultimately alter the originally desired taste.
