The website Sugar and Soul gave me the idea for today's cocktail, perfect for Christmas celebrations.
They called it Christmas Punch, I modified it to include my favorite Christmas herbs and changed the name to Christmas Herb Punch. The best part about this is you can get out the punch bowl, serve this to your guests and family and don't have to be a bartender all evening.
Christmas Herb Punch
1 cup cranberries
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup Lemon Balm leaves
1 cup pomegranate juice
2 cups ginger ale
1 cup brewed lemon grass tea
1 cup white rum, optional (or you can use vodka or whiskey)
Ice

allow adults to add their own as desired.
