Sparkling Cranberry Apple Punch

Sparkling Cranberry Apple Punch is the perfect easy holiday drink for a great party!  

Happy (almost) Thanksgiving, guys! I wanted to share a last minute holiday drink recipe today, just in case some of you are like me and completely forget about your party beverage situation until the last minute!

This yummy Sparkling Cranberry Apple Punch is easy and so delicious. I love the blend of flavors and the slightly sweetened whole cranberries that make it festive and fun. You can even add thin slices of apple rings and lime to make your punch bowl even more beautiful.

This is a great drink to make in advance. You can make all of it, except for adding the ginger soda, a day ahead of time.

Consider trying these holiday drinks:

• Homemade Eggnog
• Homemade Sparkling Apple Cider
• Caramel Apple Cider
• Hot Wassail
