Holiday Rum Pomegranate Punch Recipe

by partysugar 6

Keep things simple at your holiday happy hour. Instead of hosting a full bar, offer one festive pitcher of drinks. This vibrant red concoction takes its hue from fresh pomegranate juice and grenadine. Make several batches and store in the fridge. When one pitcher is empty, fill it with the drink that's ready and waiting in the fridge.

Also have sparkling and red wine on hand for those who prefer to sip something a little lighter. Have friends who don't drink? Serve them sparkling water mixed with blood orange juice and garnish with a lime wedge. To check out the rum pomegranate punch recipe, please read more.
