Nothing rounds out a holiday meal like a delicious punch made from seasonal fruit juices. This holiday sparkling cranberry apple punch is made by mixing equal portions of Simply Cranberry and Simply Apple juice and gets its sparkling bubbles from Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry soda. So delicious and easy! This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser.
As a little girl, my FAVORITE part of our holiday dinners was the delicious fruit punch that my grandma made. She would combine fruit juice with lemon lime soda, and it was so crisp and refreshing! I shared her frozen fruit punch recipe on here a few years ago, and am excited to share another family favorite recipe with you today.
My kids all love the combination of cranberry cocktail and apple juice. On special occasions I add Sprite to it to create a sparkling cranberry apple punch that is perfect for the holidays.
You can make one glass or a giant punch bowl full, the ratio of juice to soda is the same. In addition to crushed ice, you can add frozen cranberries to chill the punch as well as garnish it!
I found a 12 pack of limited edition Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry soda at Kroger and knew that it would be the perfect addition to my sparkling punch. You get the tangy lemon-lime flavors that you expect from Sprite with a hint of cranberry. It's delicious and perfect for the holiday season.
For a delicious warm holiday drink try our slow cooker holiday wassail recipe. It combines Simply Orang and Simply Apple juice with pineapple juice and spices. Not only is it absolutely delicious, but it fills your home with the wonderful scents of citrus, cinnamon and cloves.
