Note
Serve this punch well-chilled for the best experience. Adding ice cubes to the punch bowl helps keep the drink cold without diluting it too quickly.
For a festive presentation, garnish the punch bowl with fresh cranberries, orange slices, or mint sprigs.
To make this drink alcoholic, you can add vodka, rum, or ginger ale for a different flavor profile.
If you prefer a less sweet punch, you can use cranberry juice blend instead of cocktail, or reduce the amount of lemonade concentrate.
This punch is best made fresh. If you need to prepare it ahead, mix the cranberry juice and lemonade concentrate up to 24 hours in advance, but add the sparkling water just before serving to maintain fizziness.
