How to Make Your Christmas Fruit Punch
This punch bowl is the ultimate festive party drink for Christmas. Here’s how to make it:
Step 1: Mix the Fruit Juices
In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine 500 ml of Natureo De-Alcoholised Rosé, 200 ml of cranberry juice, 150 ml of orange juice, and 100 ml of pineapple juice. Stir gently to blend the juices, creating a vibrant red base that’s as colourful as it is flavourful.
Step 2: Add a Splash of Sparkle
Pour in 200 ml of soda water to give the punch a light, bubbly finish. Stir lightly to mix without losing too much fizz, adding a refreshing sparkle perfect for a holiday toast.
Step 3: Keep It Cool
Add plenty of ice to the punch bowl or pitcher to keep the drink perfectly chilled. The ice helps maintain a refreshing quality, essential for Christmas gatherings on a warm summer’s day.
Step 4: Garnish for a Festive Flair
Add fresh cranberries, orange slices, and rosemary sprigs to the punch for a festive, holiday-inspired garnish. The cranberries add a pop of Christmas red, while the rosemary sprigs provide a subtle, earthy aroma that enhances the holiday feel.
