Description
A festive and warming spiked apple pie punch perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups apple cider
- 2 cups spiced rum
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur (like Triple Sec or Grand Marnier)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Whole cloves (optional, for garnish)
- Apple slices (for garnish)
- Cinnamon sugar (for rimming glasses)
Instructions
- In a large punch bowl or slow cooker, combine apple cider, spiced rum, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick.
- If using a slow cooker, set it to low heat and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Do not boil.
- If serving immediately from a punch bowl, stir well and let it sit for 15-20 minutes for flavors to combine.
- To serve, rim glasses with cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Ladle the punch into glasses.
- Garnish each glass with apple slices and a few whole cloves, if using.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the spiced rum and orange liqueur. You can increase the apple cider and add a splash of ginger ale for fizz.
- Adjust the amount of spiced rum to your preference.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar rim by moistening the rim of each glass with a lemon wedge and then dipping it into a shallow dish of cinnamon sugar.
