Champagne Sangria Punch is fizzy, just sweet enough, and spiked with fresh fruits. The perfect cocktail for the holidays!
“I made this punch for my daughter’s bridal shower. It was a total hit! I tripled the recipe, but we still ran out! I substituted raspberries for the pomegranate seeds. Delicious!!!!!!”
Who’s up for a fizzy, colorful cocktail? A fizzy, colorful Champagne Sangria Punch cocktail, to be specific?!
This festive, sparkly punch is perfect for the holiday season, girls night, bridal showers, and any reason to pop some bubbly in between. It’s as gorgeous as it is delicious.
Champagne is mixed with wine-soaked winter fruits including kiwi, oranges, and pomegranate arils, then finished with a splash of orange juice to sweeten each sip.
Champagne is such a crowd pleaser already and the fact that this drink is so beautiful makes it an even bigger joy to drink.
Start with your vino. You’ll need 1 bottle (750ml) each riesling and champagne.
Something I learned during a visit to a winery many years ago is that not all rieslings are sweet, so for this particular drink, be sure you’re choosing one on the sweeter side. Relax Riesling is one of my favorites.
If you want your Champagne Sangria Punch even sweeter, you could use moscato wine instead.
Pour the riesling into a big pitcher or punch bowl then prep your fruit. I like a variety of in-season fruit including pomegranate, kiwi, and oranges.
Cut 1 orange in half lengthwise then into slices.
Next de-seed 1 pomegranate.
There are a variety of ways to de-seed a pomegranate, but this is my preferred method.
You could also buy just the pomegranate arils at the grocery store. I think they are so beautiful in this drink — like little jewels.
Finally, peel then slice 4 kiwi. The kiwi get kind of fizzy in the champagne – it’s so fun.
Add the fruit to the pitcher with the wine then refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
When you’re ready to serve, slowly add the champagne and 1-1/2 cups orange juice (Tip: that’s just one of the small/single-serve Simply Orange containers.)
Stir to combine then pour over ice and serve!
Mimosas are another one of my favorite drinks, especially on Thanksgiving and Christmas morning, so this punch is really hitting all the holiday bases. Hope you enjoy!

Made this for Xmas. The only complaint I have is the people that didn’t like champagne that I was with drank it all! I was hoping more for me! Will totally make by myself next time ?
I made this punch for my daughter’s bridal shower. It was a total hit! I tripled the recipe, but we still ran out! I substituted raspberries for the pomegranate seeds. Delicious!!!!!! Thx for the recipe.
Love it
Made this yesterday and it was a big hit, no leftovers. Thank you
Do you think I could make this into a yummy alcohol free drink? I’m looking for something for a bridal shower and the winery won’t let me bring booze in. My mom thought I could maybe sub the wine for 7up, but I looked back and didn’t see any mention of substituting and saw there was also champagne in it. Thanks Kristin!
I think Sprite or 7-Up would be a perfect sub for both the wine and champagne!
I made this for a NYE party and it was sooo good. In fact, I’m constantly going to your blog for recipe ideas. So glad I found you!
I made this this past weekend and it was delicious! A huge hit with my friends. I will be making this again!
Has anyone tried using peach champagne? I was thinking about using that instead of the orange juice.
This made me smile – it’s so true – Mom-sourced recipes are always winners! This is such a fun idea for the holidays – festive and bright.
