Ingredients

  • 1 bottle (2 L) Sprite Zero
  • 1 bottle (25.4 oz) Martinelli's Sparkling Cider
  • 1 can (12 oz) frozen cranberry juice concentrate thawed

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients into a large juice pitcher, punch bowl, or drink dispenser.
    *The recipe makes about 14 cups of juice so make sure you mix it in something that is large enough. If serving a crowd, this punch recipe easily doubles or triples.

Notes

Tip : Make sure the Sprite Zero and sparkling cider are cold when you make this. I put mine in the fridge for a couple days before I need it. The frozen juice does need to be thawed. Not complete liquid (you can if you want) but rather soft semi-frozen chunks. This helps it mix in better with the other ingredients. Make this punch right before you need it for best results. 
Serving Size : Recipe yields 14 cups of juice. For the nutrition information, the calories listed are for 1 serving (1 cup each). 
Cider : Use a different variety if sparkling cider. I have seen sparkling apple-grape, sparkling apple-peach, sparkling apple-pear, sparkling apple-pomegranate, and sparkling apple-cranberry. Any of these would work as a substitute for the apple cider. 
Sprite : We love the Sprite Zero in this recipe but you can use regular Sprite or even 7-up products if that's what you prefer. Ginger ale is also a good substitute as well. During Christmastime, Sprite and 7UP both make Holiday flavors that would be good in this punch as well.
Frozen Juice Concentrate : The frozen concentrate is preferred because it helps keep the punch cold and it produces this foamy effect to the punch. If you can't find it for some reason then you can use a different frozen juice concentrate (like apple, cranberry-raspberry, orange, orange-pineapple, etc) or you can use Cranberry Juice. I would recommend using a really good-quality cranberry juice like Simply Cranberry. Or there are tons of options of cranberry juice in the juice aisle. Options like cranberry-grape juice, cranberry-peach juice, cranberry-mango, cranberry-grape juice, cranberry-apple, white-cranberry-peach, cranberry-raspberry, and cranberry-pomegranate.
