This Cranberry Apple Punch is perfect for all your upcoming Holidays or even just for a family dinner! Recipe at www.overthebigmoon.com!

Two small cups filled with a red punch and garnished with apple slices and craisins. Behind it is a black napking with an apple and lemons.

Hey friends! The holidays are right around the corner and I especially love making delicious punches for all of our holiday gatherings! I always love recipes that are easy to switch up between having them be family-friendly and make them adult-friendly by adding sparkling wine!

I do make this recipe year-round, but I especially love it during the Fall and Christmas season, because of the added Apple Cider!! And the Cranberry flavor channels all the Christmas feelings!! This really is a crowd-pleaser and perfect for all ages!

HOW TO MAKE CRANBERRY APPLE PUNCH

Ingredients Needed:

  • 6 Cups Apple Cider
  • 3 Cups Cranberry Juice
  • 1 Cup Orange Juice
  • ½ Cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 Bottle of Sparkling Grape Juice or 1 Bottle of Sparkling White Wine
  • Slices of Apples and Lemons
  • Craisins (for garnish) or Cranberries

SPARKLING CRANBERRY APPLE CIDER PUNCH

Directions:

In a large punch bowl or drink dispenser combine the apple cider, cranberry juice, orange juice, and lemon juice. Mix them together.

A bowl of punch with apple, lemon and craisin garnishes next to it.

Right before serving, add the sparkling grape juice. If you’d like to make this an adult-only drink, you can substitute the sparkling grape juice for a white sparkling wine of your choice.

A cutting board with apple slices and lemon slices on it.

Lastly, garnish with apple slices, lemon slices, oranges slices, and/or dried cranberries. I personally love the look of the apple slices and lemon slices together and then topped with dried cranberries.

This recipe makes enough for about 12 people.

Feel free to double it and make ½ kid-friendly and ½ adult-only!!

I also like to cut up extra garnishes to put to the side of the punch bowl or drink dispenser! That way you and your guests can put a few garnishes of your liking in the bottom of your cup, before adding punch out of the punch bowl. I mean the garnishes are what make it so pretty!

    This is one of our favorite holiday drinks! (And great minds think alive because I’m sharing a similar recipe on Friday!) Also, I LOVE those pretty chinet cups for serving at every party I throw–they look classier than regular plastic cups.
