Hosting end-of-year parties means mixing up a large batch of punch for the crowd. This sparkling punch is a delicious addition to your party. Mix it ahead of time and add the sparkling wine just before serving.

Sparkling Holiday Home and Punch
Ingredients
- 1 - 12 ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
- 1 - 12 ounce can frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 2 bottles sparkling wine
To mix your punch:
- Add juices to a punch bowl and 24 ounces of cold water (just fill the juice cans for measure).
- Mix and chill until ready to serve.
- Add wine just before serving.
Now here are some tips for making holiday entertaining a little easier:
-
1.
Make a list and check it twice – for every party you plan to host! List out what food and drink you'll be serving and then make a list of ingredients you need to buy for them. Check it off as you go and it will keep you on track and motivated.
-
2.
Remember, it will always take you longer than you think to prepare everything. Make as much ahead of time as you possibly can. Factor in about 30 minutes before party time to get things on the table or in the oven, and drinks ready to pour.

3.
Clean as you go and it will be much easier in the end. Have the dishwasher and sink empty and ready to fill after the party. Use the Scotch-Brite® Greener Clean Sponge to wipe down counter tops so they're sparkly clean. It's made from 100% plant-based fibers and with 23% recycled materials. Clean really does feel good, and using greener products makes me feel even better!
Now, get celebrating – cheers to a new year!
