Raise your hand if you are ready for Thanksgiving!!

But wait – do you have a drink that the whole family will love?? Just in case you happen to be looking for a drink for your holiday festivities, I’m here to hook you up. This easy and festive drink is only 3 ingredients, and can be made in minutes. I was going through some old recipe boxes and came across this recipe. I’m not sure where it came from – I didn’t recognize the handwriting, but I knew immediately it would make the perfect holiday drink.

And hey – if you are already prepared for Thanksgiving, this would make a great Christmas drink as well!!

Ingredients

This is all you need:

Cranberry Juice Cocktail – this comes bottled in the juice section of your grocery store. It’s super easy to find.
Sparkling Water – this is what makes it “sparkling” – it is basically just carbonated water. You can use any that are labeled as sparkling water, club soda, seltzer water, or anything similar. They should all work for this recipe.
Pink Lemonade Concentrate – it is sometimes hard to find the 6oz containers of frozen pink lemonade concentrate, so if you can’t, just use half of a 12-oz can. Or double the other ingredients and use the whole can of concentrate. To make it easy to mix, you’ll want it to be thawed, or at least mostly thawed.

How to Make Sparkling Cranberry Punch:

Tips and Tricks

I wouldn’t suggest making this ahead of time because the sparkling water will lose its fizz. But it only takes minutes to make, so it’s easy to do right before serving.

It’s my favorite served over crushed ice. If you don’t have crushed ice, just make sure to serve it cold.

This is so good that even kids usually like it, but you can always dilute it out more with extra sparkling water.
