Rudolph\'s Tipsy Punch

Let’s admit it, sometimes we need a cocktail to get us through the holidays. Yes, it’s fun but can be overwhelming too. That’s why I put together this fun cocktail for you to enjoy. Who doesn’t love a festive cocktail to celebrate the season? I can’t wait to hear how much you like it!

Rudolph’s Tipsy Punch

Basically, this is a festive twist on a classic Vodka Cranberry drink. I added a little tart, a little fizz, and a little sweet. Although cranberry is the main component, you can make this drink all year. You may not find fresh cranberries to garnish, but cranberry juice is readily available. This recipe has just the right mixture of sweet and tart.

I’m a fan of cranberries as you can tell by these recipes.

  1. Cranberry Pound Cake
  2. Turkey Brie Cranberry Mustard Sliders
  3.  Cranberry Orange Muffins
  4. Cranberry Eggnog Crumb Coffee Cake 

What about a garnish?

It’s a fun way to garnish this drink with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary. I just took wooden skewers and threaded the cranberries on them then added it to the drink. You can find the wooden skewers here.

I served these in stemless wine glasses, but you can use rocks glasses, high-ball glasses, or whatever you have on hand.

How do I make this drink kid-friendly?

To make it kid-friendly, just omit the vodka. You can add white grape juice, apple juice, more juice that’s already in it, or more 7UP or Sprite if you prefer.

    Made this last night for our annual Christmas Eve family gathering. It was a huge hit! I made the non alcoholic version so the kids could enjoy and they loved it! Some adults added vodka to theirs. So good!

    My friend made this with Rum instead of Vodka. It was really good. I’ll be making it myself soon 😋

  3. You think maybe using white claws instead of 7up would work? Maybe a bit less sweet?
