Cheerwine, the beloved family-owned soft drink from Salisbury, North Carolina, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Cheerwine Holiday Punch this season, spreading cheer far and wide.
Known by many as the “official punch” of the South, Cheerwine first introduced the pre-mixed blend of its legendary punch in two-liter bottles a decade ago.
Cheerwine Holiday Punch is a delightful blend of the soda’s signature cherry flavor, tangy pineapple juice and bright, bubbly ginger ale. It’s the perfect fusion of flavors that captures the essence of the season in every sip. Cheerwine Holiday Punch is now available online and in select Carolina grocery stores while supplies last.
“Families throughout the South have woven Cheerwine and Holiday Punch into the fabric of their traditions for years,” says Joy Harper, the great-great granddaughter of Cheerwine’s founder and vice president of marketing for Cheerwine. “We’re honored to be part of these cherished memories, bringing generations together.”
To commemorate this milestone, Cheerwine is partnering with 16 prominent mixologists from across the Carolinas to unveil a collection of cocktail and mocktail recipes incorporating this timeless, seasonal favorite.
“We’re delighted to introduce these unique Cheerwine-inspired creations, confident they’ll become additions to holiday celebrations for years to come,” says Harper. “We’re grateful to all our partners for generously sharing their recipes with their fellow Carolinians.”
