Prepare Your Taste Buds For Flavor!
This non-alcoholic Thanksgiving Punch is one of my favorite fall punch recipes, it will have your taste buds traveling through the flavors of the season!
Beginning with a taste of late summer from the sweet pineapple juice. From there the late summer flavor gives way to the classic flavor of fall, cozy apple cider! Next, your taste buds are met with the wintery citrus flavors of orange juice.
Cranberry and pomegranate juice then bridge the gap between the seasons, highlighting all of fall’s fruity flavor! Rounding off this seasonal punch are spices such as whole cloves, allspice berries, and cinnamon sticks.
Your taste buds then end the journey with the fizzy finish from lemon-lime soda in this fall party punch!
How To Make Autumn Punch
- Add the cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, whole cloves, apple cider, cranberry juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, and pineapple juice to a large punch bowl.
- Top with lemon-lime soda, orange slices, and cranberries just before serving.

Rebecca’s Tips for Making This Autumn Harvest Punch Recipe
- Apple Cider – For the best flavor try to grab a jug of homemade apple cider from your local orchard!
- Chill The Ingredients – To ensure this punch is perfectly chilled make sure you place the juices and soda in the fridge ahead of time.
- Garnishes – Dress this punch up by garnishing it with cinnamon sticks, orange slices, and cranberries!
- Serving This Punch – I love serving this party drink in my favorite punch bowl! That way all the pretty garnishes can be on display, making for a festive party look! However, a large pitcher will work too!
- Stronger Spice Flavor – For a stronger spice flavor, combine the juices with the spices and chill the mixture in the fridge for 2 hours. Afterward, add the soda and serve!
How To Store Leftover Autumn Punch
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container. However, since this punch is made with soda the carbonation will eventually dissipate. In turn, altering the flavor of this punch!
How Many Servings Does This Autumn Punch Recipe Yield?
This will vary heavily on the size of your servings and cups. Typically, when I make and serve this punch, I can count on it serving at least 12 people.
Alcoholic Autumn Punch Version
I find that the addition of rum makes for a delicious autumn harvest rum punch recipe! But you can try adding whatever alcohol you prefer!

Tried this for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a great success. I loved it too. Definitely will make again.
I made this for a fall party I was hosting, and it was such a hit! Delicious and beautiful, and super versatile/forgiving. I ended up making it again with leftover ingredients for my kids the next day, and everyone loved it. Next time I might even try it warmed in a pot and add the soda and garnish just before serving. I was nervous because I’m not always a fan of spices like cloves, but the flavors were perfectly subtle and not overpowering. I also couldn’t find pomegranate juice but I did find cranberry-pomegranate juice, so just did 3 1/2 cups of that. Turned out awesome. Thanks for the recipe!!
Can I use club soda instead of a lemon lime soda? Has anyone tried that?
Yes, you can; it will just be a bit less sweet.
Could I use ground cinnamon and allspice?
You can, just note that it may clump or have difficulty incorporating into the drink.
Going to make this for a party. I’d like to have liquor in case people want to spike theirs. What would you recommend?
A white or gold rum would go well, or even a spiced rum for added kick. Vodka is usually a pretty safe bet flavor-wise, and bourbon could be a great option if you have guests you know enjoy it!
Love this punch! It is so versatile and we made it so people could add what they wanted to it or leave it non-alcoholic. Either way it was delicious!
My daughter made this for Thanksgiving. I took the leftovers and added the same ingredients to make another batch. Then cooked all the berries and ground them up, added enough sugar then made jam. Nothing wasted! All delicious.
Oh, I bet that jam will be delicious!
I’m having a get together, and I want to make a warm drink and a punch drink. My warm drink is Apple Cider, so with this recipe having apple cider in it, do you feel the flavor profile is too similar to my warm option?
This punch has a pretty dynamic flavor and I think they would offset each other nicely!
Do you think if making the punch (minus the soda) a day ahead of time, wouldcause the spices to be too strong?
I personally don’t, but I love the spice aspect of this Punch. You could alsoways toss them in a couple of hours before serving or reduce the amounts by half if desired.
Absolutely delicious! The perfect blend of flavors
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Julie!
