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.
