Enjoy sipping some Orange Cranberry Punch
While you can easily make this drink recipe up for yourself, where’s the fun in that?
Sharing with others is always a lot more fun!
Make up a batch of this delicious drink and you’ll be celebrating with friends all night long.
The next time you’re looking for a drink with a “punch”, this Orange Cranberry Cocktail drink is a great choice for you.
Serving Cranberry Orange Punch
What I love about this simple punch recipe is that you literally just need 6 simple ingredients to make it up.
And since two of the ingredients are juice, it has to be kind of healthy, right?!
If you like the flavors of vodka and triple sec, just wait until you try this tasty combination.
I can’ stress enough how good this tastes over ice! It’s one of my favorite punch recipes, ever.
This is the kind of drink that really transcends seasons.
That said, I really enjoy the orange cranberry flavor combo in the fall and winter.
And of course, those flavors (and the color) is perfect for Halloween and Thanksgiving events.
And if you want to serve it for Christmas, why not?
It’s delicious then too. And no one would blame you if you threw in a cinnamon stick and some cloves… Just sayin’.
What kind of food would pair well with this punch?
Anytime I’m drinking an alcoholic drink that’s a little bit sweet, I’m a big fan of pairing it up with cheese or sliced meat.
This punch is absolutely divine with a charcuterie board.
It’s just a simple contrasting taste that really lets the flavor of the drink come true.
Ingredients to make Orange Cranberry Punch
- Ice
- Vodka
- Triple Sec
- Orange Juice
- Cranberry Juice
- *optional orange slices
To make the drink, you will also need: a cutting board and knife, a measuring cup or jigger, and a wine glass.
Can I serve this drink by the pitcher?
Yes! This drink is ideal to make by the pitcher or to fill a punch bowl.
To multiply the recipe, make it with cups instead of ounces.
For example, use 1.5 cups of vodka and triple sec and 2 cups of orange and cranberry juices.
You can make it ahead of time too if you plan on serving it for an event.
Just put cover the pitcher and refrigerate it in advance.
I find that it’s really good if you refrigerate it overnight, but I think it loses a little sparkle if you try to refrigerate it more than one night ahead of time.
If you are serving it in a punch bowl and would like to make an ice cube ring, mix equal parts orange and cranberry juices together and pour them into your mold.
Freeze the mold overnight while the punch chills.
Can I serve this drink without alcohol?
Yes. You can serve this as a non-alcoholic punch too!
You’ll need to omit the vodka and triple sec.
But you will need to make up the volume, particularly if you’re making a large batch of the recipe.
I like to substitute lemon-lime soda for the vodka and use more orange juice for the triple sec.
Optionally, since triple sec is sweet, if you would like, you may add simple syrup a teaspoon at a time until you have it just the way you like it.
How to Make an Orange Cranberry Punch
This drink is really easy to make either by the individual glass or by the pitcher.
If you’re making a glass for yourself, you can mix it right in your wine glass.
Simply fill the glass with ice and pour the vodka and triple sec over ice.
Then pour the orange juice.
Top with the cranberry juice and garnish with an orange slice.
If you are making it by the pitcher, you’ll multiply the recipe as instructed above.
If you are making it ahead of time, skip adding the ice to the pitcher.
Otherwise, add the vodka and triple sec to the pitcher. Then add the orange and cranberry juices.
If you wish to infuse some orange slices, you may do so and let that chill with the pitcher.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate.
When it’s time to serve, fill your beverage glass with ice or put your ice ring in the punch bowl and pour the drink over the ice.

Hi, I’m Jennifer. I love to cook and entertain. I have a lot of fun sharing traditional food and drink recipes as well as putting a new spin on the classics. I strive to provide easy to make recipes that are perfect for the home cook, bartender and entertainer.
I just love how well orange and cranberry go together. I’m surprised they don’t make a Cran Orange cocktail, or at least I’ve not seen it. It was so good! I bet it would be good with tequila too!
