Pin ItWe love making a Christmas punch because guests can serve themselves and it’s one less thing you have to worry about. Create a station off to the side with the punch bowl, glasses, napkins, and cocktail garnishes so guests can refill their own cocktails.

Cranberry Vodka Punch Ingredients
Cran-Raspberry Juice: Adds a vibrant color and a sweet-tart cranberry flavor with a hint of raspberry.
Orange Juice: Fresh and citrusy, this balances the tartness and adds a burst of brightness.
Cointreau: A smooth orange liqueur that enhances the citrus notes and gives the punch depth.
Vodka: Keeps the punch light and boozy without overpowering the other flavors.
Fresh Lemon Juice: Adds acidity and balance to keep it from being too sweet.
Cinnamon Stick: A touch of warm spice that makes it feel perfectly festive for the holidays.
How to Make
Add all of the ingredients into a punch bowl.
Stir and add in an ice ring if you’re serving immediately.
If you’re waiting to serve do not add the ice ring and store the punch in the refrigerator until you’re ready.
You can make this the day before and store it without ice. The cinnamon will infuse nicely.
Festive Ice Rings For Your Christmas Punch
To make the punch festive follow our tips to create an ice ring! It adds texture, color and keeps the punch cold. We also love the vintage feel it brings to a party punch.
Recipe Tips
Keep it cool: Use large ice cubes or an ice ring to chill the punch without watering it down too quickly. Every so often, ladle punch from the bottom and pour it over the ice ring to keep it evenly cold.
Stir it up: Some ingredients may settle, so give the punch a gentle stir now and then to keep the flavors balanced.
Prep ahead: Have your garnishes – like fresh cranberries, raspberries, or orange slices – ready to go for easy serving.
Serve with style: Pour into copper tumblers or small glasses over ice and top with a festive garnish for that extra holiday charm.
