Holiday Punch

During the hustle and bustle this time of year brings, let us not forget how important quenching our thirst is this holiday season. While we’re cramming Pecan Sandies or peanut butter blossoms in our mouths, all that cookie dust and Hershey Kiss-ness is bound to leave us a little parched, right? So why not some holiday punch yo?

This punch is safe for kids to drink, and they feel all cool because it looks so grown up when poured into fancy punch cups. But it also can also be spiked with a little {or a lot} of rum and be festive enough for us adults. {Note: please drink responsively… nobody… especially emergency personal, want to see you in the ER on Christmas Eve or Day} Trust me on this.

I made this the “clean” version, because it was 11 am… and well even I don’t drink that early. ;) So if you are serving the “dirty” version, just add some rum… it’ll warm your soul.


Some pom-cranberry juice, lemonade, pineapple juice and some ginger ale is all you need to make this festive punch! To me it’s the ginger ale that gives it the Christmas-y taste with a smidgen of fizz action. Pssst… this is probably the easiest recipe you’ll ever find on SS.


In a large bowl; add the fresh pineapple juice…


The lemonade…


And the pom-cranberry juice


And stir.


Grab some ginger ale.


After twenty minutes of frantically scouring every inch of my kitchen for a stinkin’ bottle opener did I realize it’s a twist off. Awesome.


In an icy-chilled glass pour in a little of the punch, about two-thirds full.


Then top it off with a little ginger ale.


Serve & sip! Sooo easy and tastes like Christmas!
