Cranberry and Apple Punch + Punch Glass Markers DIY Tutorial AD

It has been a few years since my father-in-law passed away, but I remember that he always enjoyed the holiday season. If there was anything that he looked forward to at holiday parties, it was a good cup of punch. He loved punch! A combination of fruit and Sprite® was like heaven in a cup. Although he is no longer here to celebrate the holidays with us, my husband and I still carry on the tradition of enjoying holiday punch. We sometimes experiment with different combos, but our preference for the holiday season is this Cranberry Apple Punch. With its festive colors and tart flavor, it is a crowd favorite at holiday gatherings!

A tasty punch is only as good as its ingredients. Sprite® is known for adding fizz to punch recipes, but Sprite® Cranberry includes the merriest of berries for this time of the year. It is my favorite soda to add to this Cranberry Apple Punch. It is easy to add to this festive holiday beverage. Find it at your local Kroger in the soda aisle. Coca-Cola® and Kroger make holiday parties brighter! Pick up all ingredients to make this recipe and all your other holiday recipe favorites at Kroger.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Simply® 100% Apple Juice
  • 2 cups Simply® Cranberry Cocktail
  • 2 cups Sprite® Cranberry
  • Cranberries, rinsed
  • Apple pieces
  • Optional: ice cubes

The Simply® 100% Apple Juice and Simply® Cranberry Cocktail are included in the refrigerated section of your local Kroger, so these items will already be cold. Be sure to chill the Sprite® Cranberry, cranberries, and apple pieces prior to making this easy Cranberry Apple Punch recipe for the holidays.

    We have some wine charms and they’re perfect for helping avoid the dreaded drink mix-up. These drink markers would be ideal for large parties since I only have about a dozen on so wine charms.

    I love Sprite Cranberry so much! I drink it on its own, but it is divine in any cocktail that has Sprite as its base. I cannot wait to go to the store and get some!
