Notes
- You can adjust the amount of vodka and raspberry liqueur for a lighter or stronger drink depending on preference.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and raspberry liqueur and increase the juice and soda quantities.
- Use chilled juices and soda to keep the punch cold without diluting it with too much ice.
- Fresh orange slices not only complement the flavors but also enhance the punch’s holiday presentation.
