My famous jingle juice is the perfect Christmas punch to liven up any holiday party! The delicious cranberry flavor is enhanced with apple, lemon lime, sparkling rose, vodka, and triple sec for a festive cocktail punch.
Every good holiday party needs a delicious punch, and this jingle juice is my favorite thing to make for a crowd! It’s a festive Christmas take on typical jungle juice, mixing lots of delicious ingredients into one tasty beverage. This cranberry punch is mixed with vodka, triple sec, and sparkling rose, along with some other ingredients to add even more flavor. It’s sure to please everyone who tries it!
Ingredients for Christmas Jingle Juice
- Cranberry Apple Juice: This juice helps fill up the punch and balance out the liquor. More a more tart cocktail, use pure cranberry juice instead.
- Sparkling Rose: This adds a fizzy finish. You can use prosecco, champagne, sparkling cider, or sparkling grape juice instead.
- Vodka: Vodka is my preferred liquor for this drink, but you can use white rum, tequila, or gin instead. You can also leave it out for a slightly less boozy punch.
- Triple Sec: In place of the triple sec, you can use Cointreau or orange juice.
- Lemon Lime Soda: Any lemon lime soda will do. This adds a bright, zippy, carbonated element to the punch.
- Frozen Cranberries: Stirring in frozen cranberries helps keep the jungle juice cold.
- Limes: Use fresh limes to wet the rim of the glasses.
- Sugar: Dip glasses in granulated sugar for a sweet kick to each sip.
Scaling Down
This jingle juice punch recipe serves 12-14 guests. If I have a smaller crowd, I scale down the recipe for 6-7 guests by halving all of the ingredients.
How to Store
Store leftover jingle juice in a pitcher or an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Keep in mind that the soda may turn flat. If you’d like to prepare this a little bit ahead of time, I recommend leaving out the sparkling rose, and stirring it in just before serving.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
