Step-By-Step Directions for Cosmopolitan Party Punch
- Add pink lemonade concentrate to a large pitcher.
- Top with a whole bottle of moscato wine.
- Add cranberry juice cocktail.
- Next, add vodka.
- Add triple sec.
- Fill the pitcher with ginger ale.
- Stir to combine.
- Chill before serving or pour over ice into cocktail glasses.
Recipe Notes
- Soda: Sprite or club soda can be substituted for ginger ale if desired.
- Triple Sec: Adds a bit of citrus flavor and sweetness to the punch, if you aren’t a fan of orange liqueur, you can skip this ingredient.
- Lemonade Concentrate: If you can’t find pink lemonade, regular will work fine, the punch might not be as brightly colored. Sometimes the frozen concentrate is hard to find. Use lemonade mix for 1/2 gallon mixing with 12 ounces water.
- Garnishes: Optional garnishes are sugared cranberries, lemon twist or orange slices.
- Make Ahead: This vodka punch can be made ahead and chilled in the refrigerator over night. It is best to stir in the ginger ale just before serving.
- Frozen: Make it a frozen cocktail by placing into a gallon zip top bag and freezing until ready to serve.
- Punch Without Alcohol: I always like to serve this Holiday Party Punch with cranberry juice for a great option that is a kid friendly punch that adults love too.

Thanks so much!
Quick question, do I need to mix in the frozen lemonade as is, or follow the instructions to make the lemonade first, then mix it all in? Thank you!
Hi Shannon,
You just mix in the frozen concentrate. I hope you enjoy it!

What if u can’t find frozen pink lemonade and can only find frozen lemonade or limeade…will it still work with this drink
I would like to know that too! Want to make this weekend and only found lemonade not pink lemonade
Hi Jennifer,
Regular lemonade will work just fine. I hope you enjoy it!

Can cosmopolitan punch be frozen and used as a slushy?
Hi Deb,
Yes. Freeze in a zip top bag or in a 9 x 13 pan or in ice cube trays. That will be delicious.

Cosmopolitan pink punch recipe is for how many persons?
Hi Lorraine,

Is there a certain brand for the Moscato I should use, Im not familiar with that type of alcohol
Hi Lawna,
Moscato is a sweet wine a bit sweeter than a pinot grigio. It is available where wine is sold.

What can u use if u can’t find frozen pink lemonade? Can u use frozen lemonade or can u get pink lemonade mix and make it to mix in
Hi Pamela,
Regular frozen lemonade will work just fine. It might change the color slightly but won’t change the flavor at all. I hope this helps.

Hi,
Could I add 3 cups of vodka and some grenadine instead of the triple sec? Thanks!
Hi Jen,
I’m sure that would be fine but you won’t have that orange flavor from the triple sec.
~ Milisa
How many gallons does this make?
Hi Kacey,
A little over 3/4 of a gallon. You can double it as needed.
~ Milisa
Should I use cranberry juice or cranberry juice cocktail?
Hi Carol,
Either will work, I usually grab the cranberry juice cocktail, it’s a little sweeter.
~ Milisa
thanks for clarifying my Sweet tooth , Drink Repitore.
Saw this and had to make it for a girls 4-day weekend starting tomorrow. In my hurry I forgot to bring ingredients list and had looked at so many drink recipes prior, that I got lemon-lime instead of ginger ale..must have been thinking of one other. Do you think that will taste okay? I did get everything else correct! Thanks.
Hi Lori,
That will be just as delicious. Enjoy!
~ Milisa
Hi, when purchasing the Moscato I had a choice between with fizz or without. Which would be best in this recipe?
Hi Ingred,
Either will work. I used the plain, without fizz. I hope you enjoy it!
~ Milisa
Made this for a party. Everyone loved it! Delicious!
Hi Stephanie,
So glad y’all enjoyed it!
~ Milisa
Is the alcohol taste strong or you can barely taste it
Hi Carter,
It’s not super strong, it makes a great party punch but you could always add more vodka to make it stronger.
~ Milisa
I detest ginger ale…and am not a fan of triple sec. What can I use to keep this red colored for a Christmas drink that will keep this red colored and tasty?
Hi Jane,
Substitute Sprite for the ginger ale and you can skip the triple sec. Neither of these effect the color, it is red from the cranberry juice. I hope you enjoy it.
~ Milisa
What are the measurements for 1 or 2 servings? Would like to taste/try before making a large quantity?
Hi Denise,
You could divide the batch by half or fourths for a small batch. This punch is very delicious and always a hit for parties. You could also make the whole batch and freeze any leftovers in a zip top freezer bag up to 3 months.
