Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (750 ml) bottle chilled Champagne or Prosecco
- 1 cup cranberry juice, chilled
- 1 cup orange juice, chilled
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur (optional)
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 orange, thinly sliced for garnish
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda or club soda, chilled (optional, for extra fizz)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Slice the strawberries and gather the cranberries. If using, prepare the orange slices for garnish.
- In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled cranberry juice, orange juice, orange liqueur (if using), and simple syrup. Stir well to mix the base liquids.
- Add the sliced strawberries and whole cranberries to the punch bowl.
- Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled Champagne or Prosecco. Stir gently to combine without losing too much carbonation.
- If you want extra fizz, gently stir in the chilled lemon-lime soda or club soda now.
- Garnish the punch bowl with the thin orange slices. Serve immediately in glasses filled with ice, ensuring each serving gets some fruit.
Notes
- For an easy make ahead punch, mix the juices, syrup, and fruit 2-3 hours ahead of time. Keep the mixture refrigerated. Add the Champagne and soda only right before guests arrive.
- If you need a non-alcoholic champagne punch option, substitute the Champagne with chilled white grape juice or sparkling white cider.
- To make this an elegant drink recipe, freeze some of the fruit slices or whole cranberries in ice cube trays with a little water to create decorative ice rings or cubes.
