I seriously think the BEST recipes are the ones that come together quickly and easily, serve a crowd… and not only that, they taste great! This holiday punch recipe totally delivers on every front.
In fact, my family got so excited when I started pouring the ingredients together; they knew what was coming.
For any gathering, dinner, or party we’ve got you covered. This deliciously fizzy concoction is as festive, and as simple, as it gets, with just three ingredients!
The mix of sparkling cider (or sparkling wine if you’d like an adult-only holiday punch) and Sprite® give this Holiday Punch recipe a little sweetness without overpowering, and the cranberry juice adds a tart little zip that all comes together in a light, refreshing beverage.
The nice thing is that you can grab everything ahead of time, so you’re ready and prepared when the time comes for a festive drink or gathering! Even though you didn’t spend much time on this holiday punch, your guests won’t be able to tell… it looks, and tastes, quite decadent.
