Christmas fruit punch is a must during the holidays. From Posadas to New Year’s, Mexican families love to make this punch. The punch can be made in many ways and with many different fruits, and each family can add their personal touch. Today’s recipe is very simple and it only requires 6 ingredients. I recommend preparing it beforehand, even a day before if possible, because this will let the fruit absorb the liquid, and it will taste so much better. MORE + LESS -
