Ingredients

Spiced Rum Ingredients

  • Spiced Rum Ingredients:
  • 3 cups Rum
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Frozen Blueberries

Cinnamon Simple Syrup Ingredients

Punch Ingredients

  • 1 cup Seltzer
  • 3 cups Spiced Rum
  • 1/4 cup Lime Juice
  • 1/2 cup Cinnamon Simple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Concord Grape Juice
  • 1 cup Frozen Blueberries
  • Frozen Blueberries for garnish optional
  • Cinnamon Sticks for garnish optional
  • Lime Slices for garnish optional, you can also use lemon or orange

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.
