Ingredients
- 2 cups cranberry-pineapple juice blend

- ½ cup vodka
- ½ cup raspberry liqueur
- ½ cup grenadine
- Ice for the glass
- Fresh orange slices for garnish

- In a 1.5 litre pitcher, or punch bowl, combine the cranberry-pineapple juice blend, orange juice, lemon-lime soda, vodka, raspberry liqueur and the grenadine.
- Stir, top with ice and garnish with orange slices.
Notes
Storage:
As long as you do not add the soda and ice to the punch, you can keep it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add the lemon-lime soda and ice when you are ready to serve.
Tips:
- In addition to freshly sliced oranges, sliced pineapple rings also make a pretty presentation when added to the serving pitcher.
- This punch is best served cold. It is often helpful to store all the ingredients in the fridge for at least 24 hours prior to making it.
- If you want to save some money at the liquor store you can buy a raspberry infused vodka instead of the two separate items.
- I don’t suggest skipping the grenadine in this recipe because it gives this Christmas Morning Punch a beautiful color and touch of sweetness to cut through the citrus juices.
