Thanks so much for joining us today. We are raising our glasses today. Mine is filled with a non-alcoholic version of this drink.

For those who do not know me I’ll fill you in on a little secret. I’m not allowed to have alcohol, like not even a drop, not even a smidge. I have something called IBS and for me alcohol is a serious trigger.

I haven’t had a drink in 7 years. I’ve had maybe 2 glasses in the last 20 years. So, how I got wrangled into heading up Cocktail Day is still a mystery to me. A hilarious mystery none-the-less.

I’ve had so much fun doing this with Liz and Donna. I’m so glad they had my back since I had lots of technical questions for them.

I had a ton of fun planning what to make. I wrestled with how to handle this since lots of my readers know I can’t drink. So a really good friend of mine suggested doing punch. She was right on the money.

When we throw parties this is just the kind of thing we make. So I dug through my recipe notebooks. I haven’t thrown a party in some time but luckily I had some of my old ones in an old notebook.

This one is super versatile and you can swap out ingredients easily, and adjust the sweetness based on your own taste. I love recipes like this one.

Servings: 8
Ingredients
  • 8 cups of lemon-lime flavoured carbonated drink use sparking wine if making making this an alcohol-friendly version
  • 1 and 1/2 cups cups Pomegranate Juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar more if you have a sweet tooth
  • 2 oranges sliced thinly, use the middle slices, not the ends
  • 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds

  • Garnish: fresh mint
Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or pitcher mix the carbonated drink (or sparkling wine if making an alcohol-friendly version) with the Pomegranate juice and sugar. Add sugar slowly if using carbonated drinks in case it bubbles up. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

  3. Right before serving add the ice.

  4. At the last minute add the mint. It will over-power your drink if you add it too soon. Stir well.

      You must try it. It’s so good and the presentation is lovely. Just add the garnish at the last minute or it overpowers it.

    Absolutely stunning punch, Kim! This drink has done the impossible: made me thankful for winter because it means those beautiful pomegranates are in season! Thank you so much for putting together Cocktail Day and keeping all of us in line. I am seriously in awe of how you manage to get it all done and make gorgeous things like this. You need to bottle up your energy and put THAT in a cocktail (or mocktail). Thank you again! xo

      It’s a great non drinkie drink. I can’t partake of alcohol because of ibs so I love finding ways to make pretty virgin ones. Hope you love it.

    My fave of all time is a damm dirty, dirty, Dirty Martini with 3 gigantic, humungus-sized green olives! Love this party punch and will check out the twitter party!

    I know it isn’t very original, and while I love trying new cocktails, my all time favorite is a Screwdriver (OJ and premium vodka). This punch looks wonderful though…May need to try this next!

    Oh wow… what a gorgeous colour! And I bet it tastes pretty darn good, too.
    I’m now seriously regretting not picking up that giant container of pomegranate seeds from Costco earlier today… it would’ve been the perfect excuse to make this punch. 🙂

      Thanks Izz. I love pomegranate. I asked hubs to pick up seeds and he came home with a huge bag of pomegranates, no container of just seeds. Lol.

      I wish I could, there’s something so sexy about a cocktail. But I had to cut it out when I got sick. I love making things like this. It feels more like a grown up drink than so many others. And I love pretty drinks and food so it’s right up my alley.

      Ha, it’s just so much prettier than water right. I love it because it means I get to drink a grown up drink at parties. I always feel so boring, this is definitely not boring.

    Love the photo with the pitcher actually pouring your cocktail. You are really rocking the photos girl. I think I would enjoy anything with pomegranate in it. Perhaps I can drink extra because it it so good for you. 🙂

    In my much younger days I used to enjoy whiskey sours. Nowadays I just drink coffee, too many energy drinks and water with fresh fruit. Thanks!

      Thanks Guyla. And not at all. If I hadn’t been running appetizer week I could have helped more. Next time have me and Liz walk you through. You did great for a first timer, these things are complicated and there’s a learning curve. We’ll get you up to speed for the next thing. I’m so glad you joined us. I adore Liz, so any friend of hers is a friend of mine.

    Hello! I came across this recipe and think it would be perfect for my girlfriend’s wedding shower. How many does the recipe serve? We are expecting around 50 people and I wasn’t sure if I should be doubling or tripling this recipe. Let me know what you think! Thanks, Kelly

      Hi Kelly:

      Thanks so much. This makes about 14 cups of punch but about 4 cups of that is ice. I generally figure about 1/2 cup or 4 ounces per person. So if you factor in the ice this technically serves 28. But personally I always make more than enough to be sure. I’d do 2 or 3 for 50 people, and have some alternate beverages available. Hope that helps. Also don’t put the mint in until you’re almost ready to serve it. It will overpower the drink quickly. It’s more garnish with a hint of taste. Same goes with the fresh fruit, if you prep too early everything gets soggy. Hope everyone enjoys it. Have fun at the shower. xx
