Holiday Punch Recipes - Serve Your Guests these Refreshing Holiday Drinks

Are you looking for holiday punch recipes to help you prepare drinks for your party guests?

Holidays are a time when friends and family gather to celebrate the season, enjoy each other's company and eat and drink great holiday favorites. No gathering would be complete without the perfect potable.

Here are a few holiday punch recipes that will give your gathering just the right touch.

When deciding on a holiday punch recipe, think about the kind of gathering you are planning and what else will be served. The right punch can make your holiday party a memorable one. Also, consider your guest list. Not everyone drinks alcohol, so you need to take that into consideration when choosing a punch recipe.

Christmas Punch

For a great Christmas punch, you could make Bubbly Cranberry Punch. The color and flavor are perfect for the Christmas season.

You will need the following ingredients: two 16 ounce cans jellied cranberry sauce, 1 and 1/2 cups orange juice, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 one liter bottles chilled ginger ale, and ice cubes.

Place cranberry sauce in a large pitcher or punch bowl and blend with a whisk until the sauce is smooth. Next, using your whisk, blend in the orange and lemon juices. Just before serving, slowly add the ginger ale and ice cubes for 3 1/2 quarts tasty holiday punch.

Summer Punch

If you are celebrating a summer holiday, you may want to consider this tasty punch recipe. It is easy to make a cool summertime cooler for your small brunch or gathering.

For this recipe, you will need: 1/2 cup sugar, 4 cups cold water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger root, and 1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar. Combine all ingredients into a pitcher and chill before serving. This holiday punch recipe yields four servings, making it a great addition to your summer holiday brunch.

Another Punch Recipe

Another great holiday punch recipe requires 4 cups cranberry juice cocktail, 8 cups prepared lemonade, 2 cups orange juice, 1 four ounce jar maraschino cherries, 1 two liter bottle ginger ale, and 1 orange cut in thin round slices.

Take your large punch bowl and combine the cranberry juice cocktail, lemonade and orange juice. Add your cherries and stir. Place in the refrigerator and let chill for at least two hours. Right before serving, add chilled ginger ale and garnish with orange slices for a wonderful holiday punch to serve your guests.

With all holiday punch recipes, it is important that you plan ahead. Since most punches are served cold, you will want to prepare your recipe hours before your gathering.

One way you can help keep your punch cold is to prepare a double recipe and freeze half. You can use a jello ring to freeze part of your juice. Once you place your punch in the punch bowl, add the frozen ring to help keep the punch cold. As the ring melts, it will also add more punch to the bowl without watering down your mixture.

Holiday gatherings are not complete without the perfect punch. By following these simple recipes, you can create a wonderful holiday drink for you and your guests.
