Build the punch: Add orange slices, lemon slices and cranberries to a large pitcher. Pour in the cranberry juice, orange juice, grenadine, lemon juice and prosecco. Stir gently to combine.
Serve over ice: Add ice to serving glasses along with a citrus slice and cranberries. Pour the punch over and garnish with edible flowers and/or citrus slices.
Substitutions and Variations
Non-alcoholic version: For a non-alcoholic version that’s still bubbly and fun, swap the prosecco for sparkling water or half sparkling water and half Sprite or similar.
Cranberry juice: Substitute pomegranate juice for a different flavor.
Add vodka or orange liqueur: To bump up the boozy factor for an adults-only crowd.
Different citrus: Try blood oranges or red or pink grapefruit for a different flavor that’s still zesty and light.
Serving Suggestions
With savory snacks: Enjoy brie cranberry bites, garlic cheese twists or Cajun shrimp deviled eggs with your glass of punch.
With sweet treats: Pair this cocktail with cranberry cupcakes or cherry pie cookies.
How to Store Prosecco Punch
Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 1 to 2 days.
Freeze: Don’t freeze it – the prosecco will lose its fizz.
Top Tips
Chill everything beforehand: This keeps the punch cool without relying too much on ice, which can dilute it.
Add prosecco last: Stir gently to keep those bubbles intact.
Garnish just before serving: For the best visual impact and freshness.
Make it in batches: It’s easy to double or triple for a larger party.
Prosecco Cranberry Punch FAQs
Yes you can. Actually you can make it up to 3 days in advance, as long as you don’t add the sliced fruit or prosecco until right before you serve it.
Prefer not to have alcohol? Simply use alcohol-free sparkling white wine instead. You could also use sparkling white grape juice or ginger ale but those tend to be sweet so you’ll need much less grenadine. Now if, on the other hand, you want more alcohol (hey, who’s judging, it’s Thanksgiving!) throw in ¾ cup of vodka or gin too!
A dry or brut prosecco works best to balance the sweetness of the juices and grenadine.
It’s lightly sweet and balanced by citrus and bubbles, but you can reduce the grenadine if you prefer it less sweet.

I hosted Thanksgiving dinner at my house. Served this is a punchbowl. I added a few ice cubes I had frozen with cranberries and orange slices to the glasses before serving. My family enjoyed how refreshing the drink was.
Glad everyone loved it!
Made this by the glass because I wasn’t sure who would partake from my crowd. Everyone loved it especially my Brother in law, he had seconds!
Ha! I don’t blame him – this is my fave punch recipe!
Made this at Thanksgiving and then again today for Christmas. It’s going to be our new holiday tradition. Love this punch!
Can you omit the grenadine
Yes, that isn’t a problem.
I loved this. I had a bottle of Asti instead of Prosecco and that worked just fine.
This is too pretty to drink. I have never used edible flowers before.
