How to make non alcoholic Christmas punch

1. To make the spiced simple syrup, add all the ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat to low. Then let simmer for about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before staining it a small pitcher. Set aside to chill before using.

2. To make the drink, add the cranberry juice, orange juice and spiced simple syrup to a pitcher or punch bowl. Top with sparkling water and garnish. Serve immediately.

Tips for making the best Non Alcoholic Christmas Punch

• To make a just one serving, you’ll need 2 ounces Cranberry Juice, 1/2 ounce orange juice, 1 ounce Spiced Simple Syrup, 2 ounces Sparkling Water.
• I prefer to make my own sparkling water using out Drinkmate. You can make it extra bubbly which is perfect for this non alcoholic Christmas Punch.
• This makes about 2 quarts of punch. Be sure to have a serving bowl or pitcher suitable for this amount.
• This recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled for larger parties.
• If you would like to make an ice ring or ice cubes, make the drink, and freeze in the appropriate ice mold. This will keep your Christmas punch cold without watering down the drink as it melts.
• The Spiced Simple Syrup makes slightly more than needed for this recipe.

What is a good non-alcoholic drink to bring to a party?

This Easy Non Alcoholic Christmas Punch is a festive mocktail for a holiday party. It can easily be made in much larger batches (double or triple the recipe). It’s bright red which is the perfect holiday color. And it’s got a subtle fizz from the sparkling water which is perfect for a celebration or party.

How do you calculate drinks per person for a party?

Generally, you’ll need one drink per person, per hour of the event, plus one more each. Some people will drink more, some less but it gives you a good estimate. This recipe makes 6 drinks which probably isn’t enough for a crowd. However, it can be doubled or tripled for a large party.

Can punch be made ahead of time?

You can easily combine the juices and spiced simple syrup in advance. I would wait until you are ready to serve before adding the sparkling water. If you let sparkling water sit, the carbonation will go away, and the punch won’t be fizzy anymore.

How long is punch good for?

This non alcoholic Christmas punch lasts about as long as the juices in the punch. I would give it about 5 days in a resealable container in the fridge.

What can replace alcohol in a mocktail?

There’s no need to ‘replace’ the alcohol because there is no alcohol. However, you could have spiced rum on hand for those that would prefer it. Or use prosecco or champagne as substitute for sparkling water. Either would be a delicious addition but it’s not necessary.

This holiday punch was made specifically to be non alcoholic. Alcohol isn’t allowed during the elimination stage of the autoimmune protocol and some people prefer to abstain from alcohol. Plus, most festive drinks generally contain alcohol. People that can’t have alcohol should also have fun drinks!

What are the best alcohol free cocktails?

• Sparkling Honey and Lemon Cider Mocktail
• Non Alcoholic Sangria
