Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine Juices: In a large punch bowl or pitcher, pour the chilled cranberry juice, orange juice, maraschino cherry juice, and fresh lemon juice.

  3. Add Fizz: Just before serving, top off the punch with the chilled ginger ale. Stir gently to combine everything without losing the carbonation.
  4. Serve: Ladle the punch into glasses filled with ice.
  5. Garnish: Add your desired garnishes. Threading fresh cranberries on a cocktail pick with a sprig of rosemary makes for a particularly festive look.

Note

  • Customization: Feel free to get creative! Add a few cinnamon sticks or a pinch of nutmeg to the punch bowl for a warmer, spicier flavor profile.
  • Make it Bubbly: For an extra-special touch, swap the ginger ale for prosecco or champagne.
  • Ice Rings: To prevent your punch from becoming watered down, make a decorative ice ring. Simply freeze a mix of cranberry and orange juice in a bundt pan with some fresh cranberries and orange slices. Add it to the punch bowl just before guests arrive.
  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the ginger ale will lose its fizz, so you may want to add a fresh splash when serving again.

Optional Garnishes:

  • Fresh cranberries
  • Rosemary sprigs
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Orange or lemon slices

Mocktail Version Notes:

  • Replace 1 ½ cups of vodka with 1 ½ cups of chilled white grape juice or apple juice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

How can I make this punch ahead of time?

You can easily prep this punch in advance. Mix all ingredients except for the ginger ale in your punch bowl or pitcher. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, give it a quick stir and add the chilled ginger ale.

What are some alternative garnishes for Rudolph's Tipsy Punch?

Besides cranberries and rosemary, you can use thin slices of orange, lemon, or lime. Sugared cranberries or a sugared rim on the glass also add a beautiful, frosty look perfect for the holidays.

Can I use other types of alcohol?

Absolutely. While vodka is the classic choice, this punch also works well with white rum for a slightly sweeter flavor or even gin if you enjoy botanicals.

How do I adjust the sweetness or tartness?

This recipe is a great starting point, but you can adjust it to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter punch, add a little more orange or maraschino cherry juice. For a tarter flavor, increase the cranberry juice or add an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
