Champagne Punch
- 4 cups pomegranate juice , well chilled
- 3 cups orange juice , well chilled
- ½ cup orange-flavored liqueur , such as Grand Marnier
- 2 (750 ml) bottles Champagne , well chilled (prosecco or another sparkling white wine may be used)
- 1 orange , sliced
- ⅔ cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Make the ice cubes. Place 1-2 mint leaves in each space of an ice cube tray. Divide ¼ to ⅓ cup of the pomegranate seeds among the ice cube spaces. Fill with water and freeze for 4 hours or longer, until solid.
- Make the punch. Mix the pomegranate juice, orange juice, and orange liqueur in a large punch bowl over the ice cubes. Add the champagne and stir. Add slices of orange juice and the remaining pomegranate seeds to the juice and serve. Add more mint leaves as garnish if desired.
Make Ahead Option
- Make your ice cubes up to 1 month ahead of time and keep them frozen until ready to serve. Mix the juices and store them in juice containers in the fridge until ready to serve. Slice the orange and seed your pomegranate up to 2 days before serving. Combine all of the ingredients just before the party!
Notes
To make this non-alcoholic: Substitute the champagne with 1 liter orange-flavored sparkling soda and omit the orange-flavored liqueur.
