In a mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube, cloves, and 1 ounce of club soda until the sugar dissolves and the cloves release their flavor.
Add the spiced rum, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, apple juice, and ice to the mixing glass. Stir until the mixture is well-chilled.
Strain the punch into a mug glass.
Top with the remaining 2 ounces of club soda for a fizzy finish.
Garnish with apple slices, a cinnamon stick, and a few pumpkin seeds for an autumnal touch.
Pro Tips
For a stronger clove flavor, allow the cloves to steep in the mixture for a few extra minutes before straining.
To enhance the presentation, float thin apple slices on the surface of the drink and lightly toast the pumpkin seeds before using them as garnish.
If you prefer a sweeter punch, use apple cider instead of apple juice for a richer flavor.
