Jingle Juice Punch

A very good Christmas party drink doesn't have to be difficult. This festive Jingle Juice punch is simple and delicious — and because it's a punch, you can mix it up and let guests serve themselves.

To make it very good, use the best ingredients you can find. A high-quality ginger ale, such as Fever Tree or (for a real kick) Reeds will add a lot. And use freshly squeezed orange juice if you can: three to four oranges in a sturdy juicer should do the trick.

For the wine and rum, you don't have to go over the top, but choose something drinkable — the quality will come through in the final drink.
