Holiday Drink Mix (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Liquids
01 -
2 cups ginger ale or non-alcoholic sparkling wine
02 -
½ cup lemon juice you squeezed yourself (store-bought is fine too)
03 -
2 cups apple cider
04 -
1 cup of pear nectar or juice
→ Fresh Fruits & Garnish
05 -
Fresh rosemary sprigs for topping
06 -
½ cup fresh, whole cranberries
07 -
2 cups of a mix of fruit slices (try oranges, apples, pears, or blood oranges)
# Instructions:
01 -
Drop your sliced fruits into a big container like a pitcher or punch bowl. Hold off on adding the cranberries for now since you'll use those right at the end.
02 -
Mix together your apple cider, pear juice or nectar, and that bright lemon juice. Make sure everything blends smoothly with a gentle stir. If you're prepping ahead, you can stop here and keep it cold in the fridge.
03 -
When it's time to drink up, pour in your fizzy ginger ale or sparkling wine. Stir it lightly to keep the fizz alive, then scatter in those colorful cranberries for a festive vibe.
04 -
Add ice and fruit bits to your serving glasses. Pour the punch over the top and finish with a rosemary sprig for that extra fancy touch before handing it out.
# Notes:
01 -
Using pear nectar gives your drink a bit thicker texture compared to pear juice, but both are super tasty!
02 -
Go for ginger ale if you want bubbly fun, or pick a sparkling wine with no alcohol for a classier vibe - either way, you win!
