Christmas Punch

removed the alcohol and the grandkids loved it.

This was so good and easy. I took suggestions and cut the rum down by half, and I’m not sure I’d do that again. I think I’ll just put the whole thing in, as written. But people loved it and it was gone in a flash! Oh, and instead of adding the fruit to the punch itself, I made a frozen ring out of it. I just sliced them up and put them into a bundt pan, and then poured cranberry and orange juice into the pan to cover the sliced fruit, and then added that to the punch bowl.

I made the first the first time this year! Loved it! Will definitely make again!

everyone loved it!

I lessened the amount of rum to about 3/4 of the bottle, I did not use triple sec as I didn’t have it, and used 7up instead of the seltzer water. It was delicious! I will certainly be including this punch every Christmas!

My daughter and I made this recipe for our Christmas party and everyone loved it. Initially we made it as written but it filled only half the punch bowl so we doubled the recipe and the second time we added tequila instead of rum and 2.5 cans of cranberry Sprite as we ran out of rum and carbonated water. IT. WAS. AWESOME!

i loved it it was great buyt i think you should leave the sugar out it tasted alot better

I tried this recipe for the first time yesterday for my annual ornament exchange. I was prepared to change the recipe as a couple of others reviewers suggested, but followed it first. I really like it as written! Several women commented on how pretty it turned out and though I didn’t add an entire bottle of rum, it was close. My party was in the afternoon, so I held back a bit, but I think this could be good in the evening with more rum too.

very good! substituted pineapple juice for the pineapple chunks, used Sprite instead of carbonated water and added an array of frozen fruits! Always a hit!

ive made this a few years in a row for my holiday get together. Everyone loves it! it definetly packs a punch 🙂

We really enjoyed this at our Christmas Eve Party! I did use Sprite as other suggested. It was delicious!

All of my guests gave RAVE reviews about this punch! I doubled the recipe and it was still a little strong for my liking (the rum) so when I made it again I used slightly less then 1 bottle of rum (just taste it as you go). The flavor is awesome and the color is so pretty! The fruit soaks up the alcohol so if you like this, make it a day or two ahead of time (minus the carbonated water- I used Sprite)

Added a lot more orange juice and the rum taste was way too strong to be on my “Christmas punch” list.

I LOVE this punch! I made it last night for a Christmas Party. It was gone before I got my second cup and I made a double batch. I made a few changes as suggested by other reviewers. Instead of plain OJ, I used Simply Orange with Pineapple Juice, pineapple slices instead of chunks, no lemon slices, and Sprite Zero instead of carbonated water. I is WONDERFUL!!

Pretty decent drink. I didn’t have any triple sec, and didn’t want to buy a whole bottle just to use a shot, so I used the peach schnapps I had in the house instead. Also, I thought there would be enough sweetness from the juices and the fruit, that initially I did not add the sugar. I mixed everything together– without the sugar– and it was on the tart side. I added the sugar, and I thought it was a good balance– Not overly sweet, and not too tart. Initially, I didn’t know how strong the drink would be, so I only added half of the 750mL of rum. I mixed it in, and I couldn’t taste the rum at all, so I added the rest of the bottle in. The taste was pretty good, although I would’ve preferred it less lemon tasting, and more orange and pineapple. So maybe next time I would add a cup or two of pineapple juice, and reduce the lemon juice by 1/3 c. I made this punch to share with some friends, and they all liked it a lot. Not my personal favorite drink, but still pretty good and easy to make.

I make it all year round and call it different things. We have a Tiki Party each year so I made it and called it ‘Tiki Punch’. Everyone LOVES it!

I love this punch. We use it for every function we have. I do double it and I use 1 bottle of coconut rum and 1 bottle of pineapple rum. I don’t put the actual fruit in, but I do substitute that with pineapple juice. There are never any leftovers!

Very good! This was a hit at our New Year’s Eve party. Not too sweet and just the right amount of alcohol. Thanks!

Served this punch at an adult Christmas home party and it was a huge hit!! Everyone loved it and for 12 people it was perfect. I added 2 liters of Sprite in place of the 1 liter carbonated water and used 1 cup of white sugar. It was wonderful with none remaining!!! Will make this for all occasions.

I made this great punch for a dinner party of 20 people and it’s actually not enough for 20 adults! Servings are about 10-15. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe, I’ll definitely make this again!

Loved it. Not too strong. Loved the fruit in it. Big hit with my family!
