A light, festive punch combining champagne, pomegranate juice, and sparkling water with fresh pomegranate seeds and orange slices for a perfect balance of tart and sweet. Easy to make and ideal for special celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 750 ml Champagne or Sparkling Wine (brut or extra dry)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) 100% Pomegranate Juice (unsweetened preferred)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) Orange Liqueur (Triple sec or Cointreau, optional but recommended)
  • 1 cup Fresh Pomegranate Seeds
  • 1 medium Orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 to 1.5 cups (240 to 360 ml) Sparkling Water or Club Soda
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Simple Syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pomegranate seeds by cutting the pomegranate in half and tapping the back with a wooden spoon over a bowl to release the seeds. Set aside about 1 cup for garnish.
  2. Slice the orange into thin rounds. Reserve 8-10 slices for garnish and juice the remaining halves if desired.
  3. In a large punch bowl, combine the pomegranate juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup (if using). Stir gently to blend the flavors.
  4. Slowly pour the champagne into the punch bowl. Stir lightly to mix without losing too much fizz.
  5. Add 1 to 1.5 cups of sparkling water or club soda to the punch. Adjust the amount based on preferred fizz and alcohol strength.
  6. Float the pomegranate seeds and orange slices on top. Chill the punch in the fridge for about 10 minutes or add ice cubes carefully to avoid diluting the flavor.
  7. Serve using a ladle, making sure each glass gets some pomegranate seeds and a slice of orange.

Notes

Add champagne last and stir gently to preserve bubbles. Use chilled ingredients for best flavor and fizz. Freeze pomegranate seeds in ice cubes for decorative, flavorful ice. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or honey as needed. Prepare non-carbonated ingredients ahead and add champagne and sparkling water just before serving.
