Vodka Winter Punch Cocktail
This Vodka Winter Punch Cocktail is a fruity holiday drink made with cranberry juice, orange juice, vodka, and a bubbly splash of soda. It’s bright, refreshing, and perfect for any winter party or cozy family gathering.
Ingredients
- 2 oz cranberry juice
- 2 oz orange juice
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- 2 oz lemon-lime soda
- Splash of sparkling water
- 2 oz vodka
- Ice
- Whole cranberries for garnish
Instructions
- Fill the pitcher with ice. I like using lots of ice so the drink stays cold even when guests come back for refills.
- Pour in the cranberry juice, orange juice, vodka, and simple syrup. Stir everything to mix the comforting flavors.
- Add lemon-lime soda and a splash of sparkling water. This gives the punch that bubbly finish I love in winter punch drinks.
- Stir gently. Don’t mix too hard so you don’t lose the bubbles.
- Top with whole cranberries. It makes the punch look like a winter holiday cocktail centrepiece.
- Pour into glasses and serve right away.
Notes
- Keep the soda and sparkling water as the last step.
- Use fresh citrus if you want stronger orange notes.
- Add a cinnamon stick for a cozy winter punch twist.
- Make a double batch for large parties.
