Cranberry Vanilla Rum Punch

♫ You say it’s your birthday ♩ (come on, sing with me), ♫ It’s my birthday too! ♫

Yep! Today is my birthday and I won’t even bother to tell you how old I am. It doesn’t matter right?

Because age is just a number and I feel VERY young, so we’re going to pretend there are not four decades plus a few years involved.

We can do that, right?

In honor of my birthday, I saved this fun and festive Cranberry Vanilla Rum Punch to share with you today.

Doesn’t it look delicious? And this drink is perfect for any get together including…. my birthday!

I originally made this cocktail to enter it into a contest. I used up some frozen cranberries to create this fun cocktail.  Sounds good right?

Frozen Cranberries are perfect to use for this Cranberry Vanilla Rum Punch. They hold a lot of flavor in each of those little berries. Once we tasted these delicious cocktails, we knew we had to share them with our family, friends and readers.

Tart, tangy, and a gorgeous red, cranberries are one of our favorite fall fruits. I’m always down to use them in my boozy beverages.

Don’t stop at this Cranberry Vanilla Rum Punch, but imagine a delicious Cranberry Martini or Cranberry Margarita.

Is it Fall yet? I’m so ready! I love the sweet and tart flavor combination in this drink and I really think you will too!

    Recipe instructions mention vanilla bean paste, but that’s not listed as an ingredients. How much vanilla bean paste?

      oops thanks for letting me know Linda. No vanilla paste needed. Originally when we created the recipe, we hadn’t discovered Vanilla Rum. 😉 So to get it the vanilla flavor we used the vanilla paste. Now that we use vanilla rum, there is no need unless you really want a lot of vanilla and in that case, a splash or two of vanilla extract should suffice. I had forgetting to update the instructions when I changed the vanilla rum. So glad you said something! Thank you and enjoy!

    So would I double this for two drinks? I’m not sure about the servings. I’d like to make a pitcher full for a party. Thank you!

      This recipe is for 2 servings, though can sometimes stretch to 3-4. But yes, I would at least double or triple the recipe for a party.
