Liquids
- 3 cups cranberry juice cocktail
- 1 cup orange juice, pulp-free
- ¼ cup grenadine, plus 2 tablespoons for extra sweetness
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 bottle (750ml or 3 cups) dry prosecco, e.g. Soledoro Prosecco Spumante Brut

- Edible fall flowers, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Slice 1 or 2 oranges and 1 lemon, and gather ½ cup of fresh cranberries. Place them into a large pitcher to build the flavorful base of the punch.
- Add Juices and Grenadine: Pour 3 cups cranberry juice cocktail, 1 cup pulp-free orange juice, ¼ cup grenadine, and 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice over the fruit in the pitcher. These ingredients combine to create a balanced sweet and tart mixture.
- Incorporate Prosecco: Add the entire 750ml bottle of dry prosecco to the pitcher last. Stir gently to mix the liquids without disturbing the prosecco’s bubbles, maintaining a light, effervescent texture.
- Prepare Serving Glasses: Add a slice of orange and lemon to each glass, then fill the glasses with ice. Top with several fresh cranberries for an added burst of color and flavor.
- Serve the Punch: Pour the punch over the ice in each glass carefully to maintain the bubbles.
- Garnish and Present: Finish by garnishing each glass with an additional orange slice and an edible fall flower such as a chrysanthemum for a beautiful festive presentation.
Notes
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the punch cool and reduce the need for excess ice, which can dilute the drink.
- Add the prosecco last and stir gently to preserve the sparkling bubbles.
- Garnish the punch glasses just before serving to ensure freshness and the best visual impact.
- Feel free to double or triple the recipe to serve larger groups at parties or gatherings.
