The holidays are here and it's time to celebrate with family, friends, and coworkers. You'll love this prosecco punch because it's easy to make for a crowd and tastes light and refreshing.

Cranberry juice and prosecco are mixed with triple sec, an orange liqueur, to make this perfectly sweetened, bubbly punch.

Make cranberry prosecco punch for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's Eve. For a non-alcoholic punch, try my Christmas punch recipe or Grinch punch for the kids!

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Cranberry juice - Cranberry juice or cranberry juice cocktail will work in this recipe. The cranberry juice is what gives this punch its reddish-pink hue.
  • Prosecco - Prosecco is a light and crisp sparkling white wine made in Italy. Prosecco could be substituted with champagne if desired.
  • Triple sec - Can be substituted with any orange liqueur like grand marnier, cointreau, or curacao (not blue curacao).
  • Cranberries - Fresh cranberries are optional but add a nice visual element to the punch. Cranberries can be frozen to help keep the punch cold throughout the night.

Tips and tricks

Fizzy prosecco added to a wine glass with cranberries.

Prepare in individual glasses - Add your cranberries, triple sec, and cranberry juice to each glass, then top with Prosecco as you're ready to serve to each guest.

Use a punch bowl or pitcher - This punch is easy to prepare in a pitcher or punch bowl, especially for parties where guests serve themselves. I'd recommend doubling or tripling for a punch bowl (most are gallon-sized or larger).

Garnishes - Whether fresh or frozen, cranberries make a beautiful holiday garnish. Frozen cranberries are a great way to keep your punch cold for longer. You could also add orange slices to the punch bowl or an orange peel garnish to individual glasses.

If making ahead - Wait to add the prosecco until just before serving. Otherwise, it can start to lose its carbonation when mixed hours ahead of time.

Frequently asked questions

Can prosecco punch be made ahead?

I do not recommend preparing your entire punch beforehand, as the prosecco will lose its bubbles over time. Instead, prepare your individual glasses, or punch bowl, with all of your ingredients except the Prosecco. Just before serving, add the prosecco. 

How much punch do I need for a party?

For a shorter event serving only cake, you may need as little as 4 to 8 ounces of punch per person. For an event lasting several hours with appetizers and mingling, you may need up to 12 ounces of punch per person. Here is a helpful article: How to Calculate Punch for a Party.

Can I use different fruit juices?

Yes, this recipe could be made with pomegranate juice for a similar red color, or pineapple juice to make a pale yellow punch.
