One of my favorite drinks for parties is Champagne Punch, it is a real crowd pleaser! This bubbly concoction is perfect for most any occasion: Christmas, New Year’s Eve, bridal shower, birthdays, anything goes! Serve it up with blueberry caprese skewers, boursin and bacon puff pastries, and mini spinach and feta tarts for an elegant holiday celebration.
It’s sweet, fizzy, and packed with flavor. So what are you waiting for? Let’s pop that cork!

Ingredients
There are many variations of Champagne Punch, they usually consist of champagne, fruit juice, ginger ale, and liquor along with fruit. This recipe has the following:
- champagne or other very dry sparkling white wine
- ginger ale
- pomegranate juice (in the refrigerated section)
- Chambord liqueur
- strawberries
- oranges
- mint for garnish (if desired)
How to choose a wine for champagne punch
This is a sweet punch so I recommend you purchase an inexpensive bottle of champagne or prosecco, preferable brut. Brut is the least sweet variety which is needed to balance out the juice and fruit.
Tip: Brut is the driest variety of sparkling wine, even bottles that say dry or extra dry are not as dry as a brut champagne, so look for the brut designation when shopping!
I also don’t recommend using expensive champagne or prosecco for this punch since we are mixing it with so many flavors. Save your money and buy the budget bottle!
Step by step
This punch is simple to make, just mix the ingredients together in a large pitcher and enjoy.
I recommend making this punch just before serving so it keeps its bubbles.
If you’d like to partially prep it before hand you can soak the fruit in the juice and Chambord then add the ginger ale and champagne just before serving.
Variations
- if you do not like ginger ale you can use your favorite flavor of club soda or sparkling water or a lemon-lime soda
- add simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter punch
- if you don’t have Chambord (raspberry liqueur) you can tweak the recipe by using Triple Sec or Grand Marnier (orange liqueur)
- You can substitute the pomegranate juice with another sweet fruit juice like a pineapple juice, V8 Splash, or orange juice
- Change out the fruit: raspberries, pineapple, watermelon, blueberries, or lemons would all compliment the flavors of the wine and juice.
FAQs
I’d recommend doubling the recipe to serve in a punch bowl so you have enough to fill it up. You can also serve it in a pitcher.
Yes! To make this a mocktail instead of a cocktail substitute nonalcoholic sparkling cider for the champagne and omit the Chambord liqueur. For a baby shower I like to make the mocktail version for the mom-to-be and the champagne version for the other guests.
