This festive Pomegranate Champagne Punch is perfect for any winter holiday party! Sparkling, sweet and slightly tart, champagne punch features a smooth blend of pomegranate juice, elderflower liqueur, freshly squeezed lime juice, simple syrup, and club soda.
This festive cocktail is perfect for holiday parties of all sorts, and also carries well over into New Years Eve celebrations! After trying this sparkling punch, you may never want a plain glass of champagne again.
Punch is always one of my favorite large batch cocktails to whip up, and this recipe is currently sitting at the top of my fairly party cocktail recipes. At a party, you want to make a large batch cocktail so you don’t have to bother with mixing individual cocktails. This pomegranate champagne punch will serve approximately 10-15 people at a time!
If you do end up having to make a second or third batch of this festive punch, no worries. It’s incredibly easy to do and will only take about five minutes of your time!
How to Make Pomegranate Champagne Punch
- Fill a punch bowl with elderflower liqueur, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Give it a nice stir.
- Slowly pour in the club soda, followed by the champagne. It’s important to do so slowly so the bubbles don’t go too wild!
- Give the punch one gentle, final stir, then top it off with oranges and pomegranate seeds as desired. Keep in mind that if you stir it too much after the champagne has been added, the punch may go flat.
What Champagne to Use and Substitution?
For the best balance of flavor, use brut champagne. Brut champagne is slightly less sweet than extra dry champagne, and much less sweet than dry champagne. You can use extra dry champagne or prosecco instead, if needed.
If you’re not a fan of bubbly cocktails, you can make this punch without champagne. Instead of champagne, use a dry white wine like Chablis or chardonnay. They will still provide a great base for the drink and will blend well with the other ingredients! Just make sure you don’t use a sweet white wine that will make the punch too sugary, like Moscato or even a Riesling.
How Much Punch Per Person?
You can estimate a single serving of this champagne punch to be 4-6 oz. This recipe makes 63 oz., which will give you 10-15 servings of the cocktail. Knowing this, you can estimate how much punch you will need based on the amount of people that will be at your event, and if you’re serving other drinks.
