Because it’s 2020…I’m giving you the small batch recipe for obvious reasons. 😉

What you’ll need:

  • A 750 ml bottle of your favorite moscato.

Use any moscato you like—white, pink, or rosé all work well. I often reach for an affordable bottle like Barefoot, but choose a wine you enjoy drinking.

  • 2 cups cranberry juice.

Cranberry juice cocktail or blended cranberry-pomegranate juices are great substitutes. They add sweetness and balance the wine’s fruitiness.

  • 1 12 ounce can of lemon-lime soda.

Choices like 7 Up, Sierra Mist, or ginger ale are all good options depending on how sweet or zesty you want the punch.

  • Optional: fresh or frozen cranberries and sliced limes for garnish.

If you love cranberries, these garnishes add color and festive flair. Frozen cranberries can also help keep a larger batch chilled without diluting the drink.

Making the punch

To prepare, simply combine chilled moscato, cranberry juice, and lemon-lime soda in a pitcher. Stir gently to blend. Add the soda just before serving so the punch stays bubbly. Garnish with lime slices and fresh or frozen cranberries for a bright, festive presentation.

This punch is affordable, easy, and refreshingly fruity. With a relatively low alcohol content compared to straight wine cocktails, it’s a lighter option that’s great for gatherings where you want something delicious but not overpowering.
