Notes
Pro Tips
These tips help the punch taste its best, especially when you're mixing for a crowd. I learned a few of them by making this drink during family dinners. A slight adjustment makes a bigger difference than you’d expect.
Chill all the juices before mixing for better flavor.
Slice the fruit thinly so it blends with the punch.
Use fresh cider, not spiced or flavored versions.
Shake with plenty of ice to keep the drink cold longer.
Stir in extra orange juice for brighter notes.
Add a second cinnamon stick to deepen the spice.
Let the fruit sit in the punch for a few minutes if making a large batch.
Taste as you go, especially if you're swapping spirits.
Experimenting can be fun here. Once you make it, you'll find minor tweaks that suit your taste.
