Cocktail Description

This brilliantly ruby-colored cocktail transforms humble ingredients into a refreshing crowd-pleaser that works as well at holiday gatherings as it does for casual summer sipping.

The Cranberry Lime Punch balances tart cranberry juice with the bright acidity of fresh lime, while Ketel One vodka provides a clean, smooth backbone that lets the fruit flavors shine. It's remarkably simple to prepare—just pour and stir—making it perfect for entertaining when you want something delicious without spending the evening playing bartender. The cocktail's versatility makes it appropriate for nearly any occasion, from brunch to evening cocktail hour, with its vibrant color adding festive appeal to your table. Food-wise, this punch pairs beautifully with savory appetizers like cheese boards and smoked salmon, or stands up nicely to spicy dishes where its cooling qualities provide welcome relief.
