This festive Prosecco punch is bubbly, refreshing, and perfect for the holidays! It’s made with crisp Prosecco, pomegranate juice, gin, and a homemade rosemary ginger simple syrup for a sparkling cocktail that’s fruity, lightly spiced, and SO pretty in a punch bowl.
I originally created this recipe for La Marca Prosecco, and I loved it enough that it became one of my favorite sparkling drinks to serve during the holidays. The pomegranate gives it that gorgeous red color, while fresh rosemary and ginger add just enough holiday flavor without making it too sweet.

Prosecco Punch Ingredients
Prosecco: Use a chilled, crisp Prosecco you enjoy drinking. I originally made this with La Marca, but another Prosecco or sparkling wine works too.
Pomegranate juice: Adds fruity, slightly tart flavor and gives the punch its beautiful ruby-red color.
Rosemary ginger simple syrup: This is what makes this punch special. Fresh rosemary and ginger infuse the syrup with warm holiday flavor. If you’ve never made one before, see my simple syrup guide.
Gin: Adds a light botanical flavor that works really well with rosemary, ginger, and pomegranate.
Fresh rosemary and pomegranate seeds: Optional for the actual punch, but I love using both as garnish. They make it instantly feel like Christmas.
How to Make Prosecco Punch
Make the Rosemary Ginger Simple Syrup
1. Combine: Add 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 rosemary sprigs, and 2 tablespoons peeled fresh ginger to a small saucepan.
2. Heat: Bring to a gentle boil and cook until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.
3. Infuse: Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes so the rosemary and ginger can infuse the syrup.
4. Cool: Remove from the heat and let the syrup cool before making the punch.
Make the Punch
1. Combine: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine 1 cup pomegranate juice, 1/4 cup rosemary ginger simple syrup, and 1/4 cup gin.
2. Add the bubbles: Just before serving, gently pour in 3 cups chilled Prosecco and stir lightly to combine.
3. Serve: Add ice and garnish with fresh rosemary and pomegranate seeds.
Eden’s Recipe Tips
Keep everything cold. Chill the Prosecco and pomegranate juice before making the punch so you don’t have to rely on a ton of ice to get it cold.
Add the Prosecco last. I add the bubbles right before serving so the punch stays fresh and sparkling.
Adjust the sweetness. Start with the 1/4 cup of rosemary ginger syrup in the recipe, then taste. You can always add a little more if you like a sweeter punch.
Make the base ahead. Combine the pomegranate juice, gin, and cooled simple syrup and keep it chilled. Add the Prosecco and ice when you’re ready to serve.
Don’t overdo the garnish. Fresh rosemary and pomegranate seeds are enough to make the entire punch bowl look beautiful.
Serving Christmas cocktails? For a smaller gathering, my Christmas martini is another festive red cocktail made with cranberry, tangerine, and cinnamon.
Easy Prosecco Punch Variations
Cranberry: Swap the pomegranate juice for sweetened cranberry juice for a cranberry Prosecco punch.
Orange: Add a splash of fresh orange juice for more citrus flavor.
Vodka: Use vodka in place of the gin if you prefer a more neutral spirit.
Different bubbles: Prosecco is my favorite here, but you can use another dry sparkling wine or Champagne.
Non-alcoholic: Omit both the gin and Prosecco and use a sparkling non-alcoholic wine or ginger ale for the bubbles.
When to Serve Prosecco Punch
I especially love this one during the holidays because you can make most of it ahead and finish it with Prosecco right before guests arrive.
It’s perfect for Christmas brunch, holiday parties, gingerbread house night, and New Year’s Eve.
For another big-batch holiday drink, try my citrus holiday punch or spiced apple holiday punch.
Prosecco Punch FAQs
Yes. Combine the pomegranate juice, gin, and cooled rosemary ginger syrup ahead of time and keep the mixture chilled. Wait to add the Prosecco and ice until you’re ready to serve so you don’t lose those bubbles.
Yes. You can use Champagne or another dry sparkling wine in place of the Prosecco. The flavor will vary depending on the sparkling wine you choose, but the punch will still work.
I like a crisp Prosecco that isn’t overly sweet since the pomegranate juice and rosemary ginger syrup already add sweetness and fruitiness to the punch. Most importantly, use one you enjoy drinking on its own.
Yes. Omit both the gin and the Prosecco. Replace the Prosecco with a sparkling non-alcoholic wine or ginger ale, then adjust the rosemary ginger syrup to taste.
