Instructions
Spiced Rum Preparation
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large jar or pitcher, mix 3 cups of rum, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of frozen blueberries.
- Infuse:
- Let the mixture infuse for at least 24 hours in a cool, dark place. The longer it infuses, the more pronounced the blueberry flavor will be.
- Strain:
- After infusion, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the blueberries and any sediment.
- Your spiced rum is now ready for the cocktail.
Cinnamon Simple Syrup
- Combine Sugar and Water:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water.
- Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add Cinnamon Sticks:
- Add 5 cinnamon sticks to the mixture.
- Simmer:
- Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes. Do not let it boil vigorously.
- Cool and Strain:
- Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Then, strain out the cinnamon sticks.
Punch Assembly
- Mix the Punch:
- In a large pitcher, combine 3 cups of the prepared spiced rum, 1 cup seltzer, ¼ cup lime juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor), ½ cup cinnamon simple syrup, ½ cup unsweetened Concord grape juice, and 1 cup frozen blueberries.
- Stir Gently:
- Stir the mixture gently to combine. The frozen blueberries will help keep the punch chilled without diluting it.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Serve the punch in glasses over ice (if desired) and garnish with frozen blueberries, cinnamon sticks, and lime slices. Lemon or orange slices can also be used for a different twist.
