FAQ & Cranberry Champagne Party Punch Tips:
-
Can sparkling white wine be used?
- Absolutely! In fact, we recommend it. No need to spend lots of money on a bottle when it is mixed with juice and soda.
-
Tip: Opt for Cranberry Juice not Cocktail
- To keep the added sugar to a minimum, we recommend using cranberry juice rather than cranberry cocktail. This drink will be sweet enough, as is.
-
Tip: Add Lots of Ice
- We highly suggest adding a significant amount of ice to your punch bowl. Not only will it keep the drink colder longer but it will also add a little water so you can keep sipping and not overindulge.
Festive and Stunning
Cheers to another year in the books. Go ahead and celebrate this wonderful time of year with a fabulous drink in your hand. Cheers! 🍹
