Cranberry Citrus Party Punch Recipe (2024)

This Cranberry Citrus Party Punch is easy to make, so delicious, and perfect for your next party or holiday gathering.

This Cranberry Citrus Party Punch is as beautiful as it is delicious.

It is the perfect holiday drink, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Ingredients needed for Cranberry Citrus Party Punch:

ginger ale
pineapple juice
cranberry juice
fresh cranberries
oranges
lemons
limes

Can I use frozen cranberries for this party punch?

I personally prefer using fresh cranberries over frozen.

It adds a fresh taste to the punch, however, if frozen cranberries are your only option, they will work and will still taste great.

If you are looking to switch the cranberries out, I recommend adding pomegranate instead.

Substitute for ginger ale?

If you are looking to replace it, I recommend using Sprite, Mountain Dew, Fresca (flavored Fresca would also be fine), sparkling water, Cranberry Sprite, or Cherry 7-Up.

How to make Cranberry Citrus Party Punch:

Pour ginger ale and juices into a 2 gallon drink dispenser.
Put cranberries, orange slices, lemon slices and lime slices on top.
Refrigerate until served.
This recipe will serve 25 people (it makes a lot!), so you can cut it down to make the amount that you need.

How far in advance can I make this citrus punch?

We would recommend serving it within 6 hours of making it.

If you are looking to save time, I recommend cutting the fruits ahead of time so you can throw it all together right before serving.

Don’t add ice until right before serving it.

Notes

We don’t recommend making this drink ahead of time – it is best the same day you make it.

Absolutely delicious! Not a punch fan but it was a combination of tart and sweet and everyone loved it.
Erica Evans says:

How much do I need for 300 guests??? For an church holiday event.
Cyd says:

This recipes is for about 25 servings. So for 300 people you would need to make it 12 times.
Courtney says:

Is there an order in which you add the juices to mix it? Just curious.
Jessica says:

Can you add alcohol to it? If so what would you recommend??

Cyd says:

We have only made this recipe as directed on the instructions. We don't drink alcohol, so we aren't much help here.
Cyd says:

We usually add the ingredients in the order listed in the recipe.
Terri says:

Can you use cranberry co*cktail or do you need the actual juice?
Christi says:

Do I need to use 100% cranberry juice? Or will a cranberry juice blend work?
Cyd says:

You can use a juice blend. It will alter the taste to be more like whatever juice blend you use. It's all good.
Cyd says:

You can use whatever cranberry juice you want, but the taste will be altered depending on the juice you use.
Alisha Woolls says:

Sounds delicious! Being from the south I feel that no baby shower/bridal shower etc is complete without punch! One tip on keeping this cold without adding ice that will water it down would be to freeze some of the punch and fruit in a Bundt pan. Dip the pan in a little hot water and it will come out easier. Voila! Cold punch that’s not watered down!
Alisha Woolls says:

I left out the obvious step of adding this frozen punch ring to your punch. 😄 Also, adding the soda right before serving will keep your fizz from dying before you can serve it.
Cyd says:

Thank you Alisha for the punch tip!!! Great idea! No more watered down punch. Yeah!!
Denise Da-Re says:

I saw you make this in Instagram and it looked easy enough. I made if for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it!!! Thanks so much!
Adorisa says:

I served this for Thanksgiving yesterday and everyone loved it!
