Pomegranate Iced Tea Punch made with Milo’s Tea, pomegranate juice and ginger ale garnished with fresh pomegranate arils, orange slices, cranberries and a sugared rosemary sprig for a festive non-alcoholic drink everyone will enjoy this holiday season.

The holiday season is in full swing and this Pomegranate Iced Tea Punch is the perfect drink for all your upcoming get-togethers. The holidays are all about creating memories and traditions and this Pomegranate Iced Tea Punch will become your families new go-to drink that pairs perfectly with all those traditional dishes like the turkey, creamy mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and cranberry sauce.

I just made myself very, very hungry. 

The one ingredient in Pomegranate Iced Tea Punch extra special is our family-favorite, award winning, Milo’s Tea. I really enjoy learning the history behind my favorite products. Yes, Milo’s Tea is fresh brewed, and features natural ingredients without preservatives or added acids. Yes, Milo’s Tea is THE beverage for holiday meal entertaining available sweetened with pure cane sugar, no calorie and unsweet options, as well as lemonade, and a tea and lemonade mix.

What’s the real history behind Milo’s Tea though?

Milo’s was founded as a restaurant in 1946 by Milo and Bea Carlton after Milo returned from serving his country in World War II. Being a military family ourselves, we always stand behind those who serve so hearing Milo served our country makes this company extra special. In 1989, Milo’s began selling their fresh brewed Famous Sweet Tea to local Birmingham grocery stores and now Milo’s beverages can be found in thousands of retailers across the United States.

Milo’s philosophy was simple – use high quality, fresh, natural ingredients, listen to your customers and never sacrifice taste. This is the same philosophy that Milo’s Tea upholds today. Drink Milo’s and taste the difference. 

Pomegranate Iced Tea Punch

Pomegranate Iced Tea Punch can be made by the glass or in a large pitcher. This punch goes quickly, so I recommend just making a big batch. Wash your fresh cranberries and remove the arils from a pomegranate. Slice the oranges and sugar coat some rosemary sprigs. The sugar coated rosemary is a nice touch for a little sparkle and is simple to do. Just give the rosemary a quick rinse with water and dip into a sugar filled plate. Gently shake off the excess sugar and that’s it! They smell and look gorgeous.

Before guests arrive, fill the pitcher half way with ice and drop in most of the orange slices and cranberries. Leave some to the side for garnish. Next, add 3 cups Milo’s Tea, 1 cup pomegranate juice and 3 cups ginger ale. Each glass will get a couple ice cubes, a sparkling rosemary sprig, an orange slice, a few cranberries and a few pomegranate arils filled with Pomegranate Iced Tea Punch. Add a festive straw if you wish.
