Make Ahead Instructions

Stir together all of the ingredients except for the sparkling rosé and garnishes in a large pitcher. Store tightly covered with plastic wrap for up to 1 day. Stir in the rosé before serving.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover jingle juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Keep in mind that the soda may turn flat. I do not recommend freezing jingle juice.

Substitutions

For a cocktail that is more tart, swap the cranberry-apple juice for straight cranberry juice.
If you’re not a fan of cranberry, try raspberry-apple or cherry juice.
In place of the sparkling rosé, you can use prosecco, champagne, sparkling cider, or sparkling grape juice.
In place of the vodka, you can use white rum, tequila, or gin. You can also leave it out for a less boozy cocktail.
In place of the triple sec, you can use Cointreau or orange juice.

Tips for the Best Jingle Juice

To keep your jingle juice extra cold, don’t defrost the cranberries, and try freezing the lime slices as well!
You can also freeze cranberry-apple juice ice cubes in advance and add them to the pitcher to keep it extra cold without watering it down.
