  • Float thin slices of red apple on top of the punch. Add cinnamon sticks, star anise, and sprigs of fresh thyme for a festive, aromatic touch.

Pro Tips

  • Chill the cider, juice, and bourbon ahead of time so the punch stays cold longer.
  • For added depth, use spiced or smoked bourbon.
  • Swap prosecco for cava or champagne if preferred.
