How to make this interactive punch:
Sugar Plum Syrup:
Cranberry Juice
Canned or Fresh Plums
Sugar
Here is a recipe similar to what I used to create the syrup. It was super easy. If you would like to skip the syrup making here is a premade sugar plum cocktail mixer you can use. I added Edible glitter so that when the syrup was poured into the glass along with the sparkling beverage of choice, it swirled beautifly.
After the syrup had cooled I used a funnel to insert the syrup into these fillable ornaments from Target. If they don't have them again this year, here is a great alternative.
Sugar Rim:
Karo Syrup
Pour syrup on a plate. Turn the cup upside down so that the rim can be dipped in the syrup. Don't dip too much or it will start to drip down the side of the cup. Now dip the rim in the rimming sugar and you've got a beautiful purple rimmed glass!
For the "sugar plums" I made sugar coated cranberries and placed them on these snowflake skewers from Amazon. Here is the recipe I used for the cranberries.
How guest make the punch:
Take the rimmed glass and add some ice
Pour desired sparkling beverage into cup (fill half way). Sparkling lemonade, ginger ale or prosecco are all perfect for this.
Now take the ornament filled with syrup, shake it up so the glitter is swirling and then pour the syrup into the glass.
Garnish with sugar plum skewer and enjoy!
