Festive Non-alcoholic Holiday Punch Recipe

Christmas Punch Mocktail

feature non-alcoholic holiday punch

This non-alcoholic holiday punch is the perfect choice, when you want a festive Christmas drink that can be enjoyed by kids and adults.

Sometimes it seems like it is just the alcohol drinkers who get pretty drinks at a holiday party, but I am all for serving up fun drinks for all.

This fruit based Christmas mocktail has no sugar added and it has a nice little kick from the ginger.

It is lovely to sip with a meal or as part of your other holiday festivities.

When you are preparing the punch, make sure you use a non-reactive bowl (glass, stainless steel…).

Other types of bowls can react poorly with the acidic fruit in this beverage.

You can make most of this drink ahead of time, since it needs to chill for at least two hours.

It can chill overnight, if that works better with your schedule.

Just wait until the last minute to add the club soda, so that it will be bubbly when served.

Enjoy!
