Prepare this simple, sparkling Champagne Punch for your next celebration. It combines bright citrus and cranberry flavors, making it an elegant crowd pleaser perfect for holidays, brunch, or New Year’s Eve parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (750 ml) bottle chilled Champagne or dry sparkling wine
  • 1 cup cranberry juice, chilled
  • 1 cup white grape juice, chilled
  • 1/2 cup orange liqueur (optional, for alcoholic version)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, chilled
  • 1 liter lemon-lime soda or ginger ale, chilled
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries for garnish
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced for garnish
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries or strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill all liquid ingredients thoroughly before starting. This keeps the punch cold and preserves the bubbles.
  2. In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled Champagne, cranberry juice, white grape juice, orange liqueur (if using), and fresh orange juice. Stir gently to mix the juices.
  3. Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Stir very lightly one time to combine. Avoid over-stirring to keep the punch fizzy.
  4. Add the sliced orange, cranberries, and berries to the punch bowl. If you are making this ahead, add the fruit just before guests arrive.
  5. For a make-ahead tip, mix all juices and the liqueur (if using) in the punch bowl base and refrigerate. Add the Champagne and soda right before serving.
  6. Serve immediately in glasses with ice, ensuring each glass gets some of the fruit garnish.

Notes

  • To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Champagne with sparkling white grape juice or sparkling cider.
  • If you need to chill the punch quickly, freeze some of the fruit (like cranberries or orange slices) ahead of time to use as ice cubes.
  • For an extra festive look, use a large decorative ice ring made from water mixed with a few slices of orange and cranberries.
