Cranberry Tea Punch Recipe | Holiday Mocktail
As we start making our list for what will be served for dinner this Christmas, one thing we know for sure, we’re serving this Cranberry Tea Punch.
Have you ever had an idea to take some of your favorite holiday flavors and mix them together? Well, we tried this on a whim. Tatanisha had a few friends over recently, and they don’t drink.
So, naturally, I had to figure out something to serve them. I mean, you can’t come to the Worthey house without eating and drinking something. I had just finished making my Smashed Cheesy Sweet Potatoes dish when this mocktail recipe came to me.

Drink responsibly, and never drink and drive
This mocktail is good without any alcohol, but I know how some of y’all roll. You need a shot of something in every drink. First, try this without alcohol, and if you feel like you still need a bit of something, add 1-2 ounces of Tequila.
Cheers!
