Looking for the perfect holiday punch recipe? This Jingle Juice is sure to be a hit! This cocktail is simple, delicious, and beautiful! Even better? You only need three ingredients to craft this delicious holiday punch recipe that absolutely everyone will love!
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is all of the time spent with family and friends.
With get-togethers to attend and parties at your own place, it’s great to have a few delicious go-to recipes in your repertoire. That’s why I thought I’d tell you about my favorite (and super easy) drink to make for gatherings: Jingle Juice Holiday Punch.
Why You’ll Enjoy This Recipe
A couple of years ago a neighboring town hosted a Christmas open house in all of their little downtown shops. Adults had the option of buying a ticket and enjoying wine or a festive cocktail at each of the stores. I know, it sounds like trouble, but it was such a fun time.
One of the stores served this punch. It was delightful!
When I found out it was made with only three ingredients, I was even more impressed. I have no idea what the store owners called the punch so I decided to name it Jingle Juice because it’s a kick to say.
Ingredients
As I mentioned above you only need three ingredients to make this Jingle Juice Holiday Punch.
- Whipped Vodka – The one I like is from Pinnacle brand. Smirnoff also makes a Whipped Cream vodka. If you can’t find whipped, try vanilla.
- Pink Champagne or Sparkling Rosé – I prefer one on the dry side to cut down on the sweetness of the punch.
- Cherry 7-up – I prefer the regular here, but you can certainly go with diet. If you can’t find this, you can also use Sprint Cranberry Zero, Cranberry Ginger Ale, or any berry lemon-lime soda.
How to Make
You really don’t need an explanation on how to put this together because it’s that simple, but I’m going to tell you anyway. Plus, I’ll give you some tips on how to fancify the recipe too!
There is also a printable recipe card with instructions at the end of this post.
1. Get a punch bowl or extra large pitcher and fill it with ice.
I decided to get fancy and make super-sized ice cubes (with these molds) that contained cranberries and rosemary. This is totally optional.
Another way to make it a bit more extra is to just toss in some cranberries. However, I think the ice cubes are such a fun touch and keep the holiday punch cold too.
2. Then add your three ingredients.
All you need is whipped vodka, pink champagne (or sparkling Rosé), and a 2-liter bottle of Cherry 7-up. Give it a quick stir and you’re ready to go.
3. Pour, sip, and enjoy!
It’s really that easy. Isn’t that color gorgeous?
The resulting cocktail is delicious and so festive. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve made this recipe dozens of times over the years. I always get the same questions, so wanted to go ahead and answer them for you here in case you have them too!
Why is it called punch?
I took a deep dive to find the answer to this one! The rumor is that “punch” is from a hindi word that means “five”. Punch was first discovered in India and traditionally had 5 ingredients (alcohol, sugar, juice, spice, and water), so the name makes perfect sense!
This punch is even more simple with just 3 ingredients, but we’ll still call it punch. 😉
How can I make my holiday punch sweeter?
If you are a fan of drinks that are on the sweeter side, choose sweet pink champagne or sweet sparkling rosé. Prefer a less sweet holiday punch? Opt for a dry sparkling alcohol instead.
Typically, bottles will be labeled as sweet or dry, but if you aren’t sure how to tell, ask someone at the liquor store.
What’s the best way to serve this punch?
I’m serving up my punch in these simple, yet elegant double old-fashioned glasses. You can find them here.
You could also serve this in a punch bowl or beverage dispenser.
I hope you enjoyed this Jingle Juice Holiday Punch recipe. It’s one of my favorites and I’m certain it will become a go-to for your Christmas entertaining.

Is “whipped vodka” whipped cream vodka? I’ve just washed my cranberries and rosemary sprigs and cannot wait to try this on Christmas Eve.
Yep! Pretty much the same thing – just a different name.

I cannot find cherry 7-up where I live, can I use cranberry lemon lime soda and maybe a splash of sour cherry nectar along with the sparkling rose and whipped cream vodka?
I’d just use the cranberry lemon lime soda and skip the sour cherry nectar. I don’t think the sour would work well.
xo Michael
Wow simply gorgeous! Your blog looks so classy!
what is a good equivalent for Cherry 7-up? something i can find in Canada that is 🙂
I’m not sure what’s available in Canada. This is a cherry flavored lemon lime soda. So anything close to that would work.
xo Michael
I am making this tomorrow for my Christmas Party. I bought the exact ingredients, and also made the ice cubes. I can’t wait! Hopefully I wont get everyone at the party drunk, it seems like it will be very strong. lol
Hello. Can you give the ingredient amounts for single servings of this cocktail?
I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this as a single serving. But, it would be:
2 parts Cherry 7-UP
1 part pink champagne / sparkling rosé
1 part whipped vodka
Cheers!

Love your recipes! One question . . ., how do i make the ice cubes clear and how do i get the cranberries and rosemary sprig to look so beautiful (as shown in your cubes)? FYI, I did buy the colossal cube trays as you suggested.
I didn’t use any special tricks. Just added the water as normal and thats how they looked. 🙂

Hi! Using this as a signature drink at our wedding. How many servings does this amount yield please?
About 15 8-ounce servings.

Hi,
I want to thank you for this, a nice cocktail recipe even after the holidays, was searching for something vodka cranberry-ish, but not just those two ingredients!
I made this for a holiday party and it was quite tasty and all was consumed. Even my boyfriend who is not a big drinker had a couple of glasses! I froze large ice cubes with evergreens and cranberries. I found that the common Douglas Fir Christmas tree sprigs have needles that fall off easily and this did not work well once the ice cubes started melting, as I ended up with pine needles in my pitcher. I also used a sprig of Cedar evergreen that fell off a wreath and that worked much better in the ice cubes for longevity and less shedding of pine needles. Additionally, I filled the ice cubes with lots of cranberries for a festive red color and floated frozen cranberries in the glasses as pictured on the recipe.
How much do I use for individual drink instead of a pitcher?
It’s really not designed to be served individually as it’s a punch.

Love! I needed an easy recipe for a signature drink for a party tonight doe 70 or so! We just made a batch and it’s awesome. I wasn’t sure I would like it with the Whilped Vodka but it’s really awesome. Thanks for this! Cheers and happy holidays
Hi Michael! This is awesome and I’m going to make this on Christmas day this year. Are you supposed to mix the entire bottle of whipped vodka or just part? Thanks!
Yes you mix the entire contents of all three bottles together.
Your posts are so fun! The recipes are great too! The Jingle Juice Holiday Punch looks amazing!
Hi Michael,
I’m struggling to find Cherry 7up, probs cause i am from the uk.
Is there anything i can replace it with?
Cherry 7up is a lemon lime soda with cherry flavor. So, anything like that would work. Beyond that, something like Sierra Mist or traditional 7up mixed with maraschino cherry juice or grenadine should do the trick! Hope that helps.
xo Michael
About how much grenadine would you suggest if making the punch this way?
I know it has been a while but I stumbled upon this recipe and intend to use it for a Christmas party this weekend. L)
Love this recipe! How would I make it if I was going to make 2 glasses? My husband and I would like to try it before we make a big pitcher of it for our Christmas party? Thank you
About equal parts of each. Maybe a bit lighter on the vodka. 🙂
xo Michael
Just curious – where can you find the clear glass ornaments for the ornamentini??
Any craft store sells them. I found mine at Walmart.
xo Michael
Thanks Michael – one additional question – I have the oversized ice cube trays and thought that would be simple but all my rosemary and cranberries froze at the bottom of the ice cube, not like yours in the photos where they were floating all through the cube. What’s the trick if you don’t mind sharing? Do you have to halfway freeze the cubes w the ingredients and then add one water and freeze again? Only way I can figure out how to get them from staying all at the edge since they float on the water
June, I used an ice cube mold versus and ice cube tray. (What I used is linked in the post above.) I assume that’s what made the difference. No special tricks though. I just filled the mold, add the rosemary and cranberries, and put on the lid. Hope that helps!
xo Michael
Hi! This sounds so fun and festive, but I’m curious, is this drink super sweet?
Ashley, not really. If you opt for a dry sparkling rose, the only sweetness will come from the 7-up. Hope that helps.
xo Michael
Life gives you surprises and surprises that surprise you! Enjoying the best drinks in this year end 2016.
How many servings does this usually make?
It all depends on how much people drink and the size of your glasses. For a large drink, I want to say about 25-30 servings. For a smaller pour like the glasses I used above, you might get 30-40 servings. That’s just an estimate.
xo Michael
I will be trying this for the holidays.
