Holiday Punch
Holiday Punch
Serve up a cocktail that’s merry and bright. Set the mood with a fruity and festive drink. Just like the holidays, this one brings the cheeriness with a heated blend of orange and cranberry juice. The rich redness and spiced flavors deepen with the addition of our Trade Street Blackberry Mulled Merlot Jam. Once it cools, add fruit and fizz to top off this drink and let it tickle the tongue.
