Break out the old fashioned punch bowl for this nostalgic holiday cocktail!
Nothing gets a holiday party started quite like a big crystal bowl filled with a vibrant and fruity punch. This particular punch is inspired by holiday cocktails of yesteryear, but offers a modern, bubbly twist that is sure to excite your taste buds and impress your guests.
What’s the bubbly twist, you ask? It’s none other than Heinen’s beloved Vin Hunter Prosecco. Produced exclusively for Heinen’s on a family-owned Italian vineyard, Vin Hunter Prosecco arrives to Heinen’s Wine Department for a limited time every holiday season. Now available in a new, “giftable” bottle, this high quality, surprisingly affordable prosecco gives this punch a delicious crispness, and the bottle will look beautiful on display beside the punch bowl.
Alternatively, if you’d like to omit alcohol, Mionetto Alcohol-Removed Sparkling Wine from Heinen’s nonalcoholic wine selection is a great option. Just as bubbly as its boozy counterpart, you’d never know from the taste that it contains zero alcohol!
Easy to make with only a handful of ingredients and perfect for serving a crowd, sip and socialize this holiday season with this Old Fashioned Holiday Punch in-hand.
Why You’ll Love This Reicpe
- It’s Timeless Holiday Cocktail with a Modern Twist. Guests of any age will be immediately transported back to holiday celebrations of yesteryear when they spot this punch at a holiday gathering; however, their taste buds will be surprised and pleased by the refreshing crispness of the modern secret ingredient: Heinen’s exclusive Vin Hunter Prosecco.
- You Can Make it a Cocktail or a Mocktail. If you and your guests drink alcohol, Heinen’s limited-time Vin Hunter Prosecco and dark rum are guaranteed to add the boozy touch you’re looking for. If you’re entertaining guests who prefer their drinks alcohol-free, simply omit the rum and swap the Vin Hunter Prosecco for Mionetto Alcohol-Removed Sparkling Wine. It’s that easy and your guests will likely never taste the difference.
- It’s Affordable. Vin Hunter Prosecco and Mionetto Alcohol-Removed Sparkling Wine are both available in Heinen’s Wine Department for less than $20 a bottle, which you’ll quickly learn is a steal based on the quality. This recipe serves 8-10 people, so one bottle can go a long way!
