Make Ahead Non-Alcoholic Party Punch

This cranberry mocktail punch is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season, so you’ll want to serve it for your next holiday gathering. 

The non-alcoholic holiday punch is fun for kids and adults who want to celebrate without alcohol. 

A sprig of rosemary and a few whole cranberries make a festive garnish, so the virgin holiday drink will fit right in with the rest of your seasonal decor. 

This is a great make ahead punch, since it only takes about 10 minutes to prep.

Then, you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight to serve the next day at your party.

The holiday punch combines some usual flavors including cranberry, orange and cinnamon. 

One that you may not be as familiar with is cardamom, which is often featured in Scandinavian recipes. 

Years ago a Swedish friend introduced me to the wonderful flavor of cardamom, so now it is always stocked in my pantry. I pair it with cinnamon often. 

You can serve this punch as you gather with your own family this holiday season or you can serve it at a larger party. 

Holiday cocktails are always fun, and this non-alcoholic party drink can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
