Alcohol-Free Brunch Punch

This delicious punch has many names – Santa punch, Christmas punch, or Brunch Punch. It’s a mixture of cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and ginger ale.

Best of all, it’s easy to make so you have more time to spend with your family.

You can make this holiday punch the night before, but I like to mix the juices and then add the ginger ale in the morning so it’s nice and fizzy.

Sweet, refreshing, and kid-friendly, this non-alcoholic festive punch is perfect for Christmas Day, baby showers, bridal showers, Mother’s Day, Easter, or any other special occasion or holiday!

It’s also perfect for parties and get-togethers because it doubles as a beverage and beautiful addition to a tablescape. Its bright red hue adds a pop of color to any table, especially during the holiday season.

Non-Alcoholic Brunch Punch Benefits

  • It’s customizable! You can add fresh berries, pineapple, citrus slices, cranberries, or even fresh mint. You can also switch up the soda with Sprite, Fanta, or Fresca. Feel free to add sherbet, ice cream, or vegan ice cream for a sweet ice cream float. The opportunities are endless here and very forgiving too.
  • This fruit punch recipe with simple ingredients is as simple as measure, pour, and stir.
  • It isn’t a party without any punch! This alcohol-free version is perfect for kids or anyone who needs or wants to avoid alcohol. The best part is that it tastes so good that nobody will miss the booze.

Ingredients

  • Orange & pineapple juice – Orange and pineapple make an amazing pair especially for punch. Buy fresh orange juice that’s not from concentrate for better flavor. Or, make your own orange juice (see my recipe for Vitamix Orange Juice). Fresh fruit juices are always better.
  • Unsweetened cranberry juice – I recommend using pure cranberry juice, but you can use cranberry juice cocktail or a cranberry juice blend. Just be sure it’s 100% juice so it’s not overly sweet.
  • Ginger ale – Most clear or fruit sodas will work here but ginger ale or lemon lime are a guaranteed success. Fanta, Fresca, sparkling cider, or Sprite lemon-lime soda also work.

Recipe Tips

  • If you don’t want to serve this punch with ice, then make sure that all of the ingredients are chilled before using. Alternatively, you can make the punch without chilling the ingredients and either chill the finished punch before serving OR serve the punch with ice cubes.
  • This punch will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For best results mix the juices ahead of time and then add the soda just before serving. This way the holiday punch will be bubbly.
  • If you prefer one juice over the other, feel free to increase the amount. This is your punch and you make the rules!

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this punch alcoholic?

Yes, you can spike this punch with rum, sparkling wine, hard cider, or brandy and you’ve transformed it to an alcoholic mimosa. If you use sparkling wine or hard cider you can use it in place of the ginger ale for carbonation.

Can I make holiday punch less sweet?

Yes! If you want the punch to be less sweet you can also add club soda. This will increase the fizz while decreasing the sweetness of the juices and soda.

Can I serve this as a mocktail?

Yes! Serve the punch in a highball glass or martini glass and call it a mocktail. You might also like my recipes for Pomegranate Mocktail or Tart Cherry Mocktail.
