Ingredients

Pomegranate juice - Tart and refreshing, pomegranate juice gives this punch great color and flavor.
Pineapple juice - A surprisingly delicious pairing with the pomegranate, pineapple juice brings in a sweet component. Look for 100% juice at the store or make your own pineapple ginger juice for a fresh twist.
Limes - Fresh squeezed lime juice is ideal for this recipe. (You'll need about 4 limes.) If you don't want to squeeze your own, buy a good quality lime juice.
Oranges - Fresh orange juice is needed in this recipe
Simple syrup - An equal combination of sugar and water, mix together a half cup of sugar with a half cup of water to make just enough simple syrup for this recipe.
Ginger beer - The ginger root cousin to root beer, ginger beer gives this punch some fizz, sweetness, and ginger flavor.
Club soda or Sparkling water - Club soda has more fizz than sparkling water, but either will work great in this recipe so you whatever you have on hand.

Make this Non-Alcoholic Christmas Punch by the Glass

Makes 8 oz.

2 oz Pomegranate juice
0.5 oz Fresh lime juice
1 oz Pineapple juice
1 oz Fresh orange juice
0.75 oz Simple syrup
2 oz Ginger beer
1 oz Club soda or Sparkling water

Combine pomegranate juice, lime juice, pineapple juice, orange juice and simple syrup in a glass filled with ice cubes. Stir. Top with ginger beer and club soda. Stir, sip and enjoy.

How to Garnish this Christmas Punch

The dark red color of this festive drink makes it lots of fun to garnish for some extra holiday spirit! Fresh mint leaves, pomegranate seeds (perils), fresh lime slices, fresh orange slices, star fruit slices, fresh cranberries, stars made from fresh pineapple, dehydrated orange slices, cinnamon sticks - there are so many options!

Pick one or two of your favorites and add them to the pitcher of punch or each glass. Careful not to go overboard. Garnish is fun, but you don't want it to get in the way of sipping the drink.

Recipe Tip

Put ice in the glasses, not the pitcher. And skip the ice ring in your punch bowl. Ice will simply melt in the pitcher and water down your Christmas punch. Instead, fill individual glasses with ice for serving.

How to Make Christmas Punch Ahead of Time

To make this punch ahead of when you want to serve it, combine everything except the ginger beer and club soda in a pitcher and refrigerate. Add the two fizzy ingredients just before serving to preserve as much bubbly as possible.

FAQs and Substitutions

Do I have to use fresh juice?

Ideally, yes. You’ll need aprox 4 limes and 6 oranges for a pitcher full of Christmas punch. If you really don’t want to press fresh citrus, choose high quality bottled lime juice and orange juice.

Where do I buy simple syrup?

You make it! Combine ½ cup hot water with ½ cup white sugar and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Chill the syrup before adding it to your pitcher.

Does ginger beer have alcohol in it?

Nope! None. Ginger beer is a soda made from sugar and ginger root, similar to root beer. It’s similar to ginger ale, but usually has a stronger ginger flavor.

What can I use instead of ginger beer?

If you’re not a fan of ginger, you can use lemon-lime soda in this recipe instead of the ginger beer.

How can I turn this into an alcoholic drink?

If you want to make this punch with alcohol, add 1 ½ cups of vodka to the pitcher before pouring or 1.5 oz to an individual glass.
