Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon apple cider
- 1.5 cups spiced rum
- 1 bottle Prosecco (750 ml)
- 2 cans ginger beer (each approx. 12 fl oz)
- About a dozen shakes of Angostura bitters
Garnishes
- Apple slices
- Cinnamon sticks
- Star anise
Instructions
- Chill ingredients: Ensure all your liquid ingredients—apple cider, spiced rum, Prosecco, and ginger beer—are thoroughly chilled before starting to maintain the fizz and refreshment of the punch.
- Combine liquids: Pour the apple cider, spiced rum, bottle of Prosecco, and ginger beer into a large punch bowl carefully to preserve carbonation.
- Add bitters: Shake in about a dozen shakes of Angostura bitters to infuse complex spice notes and balance the sweetness.
- Garnish punch: Float apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and star anise in the punch bowl for aromatic decoration and subtle flavor enhancement.
- Serve immediately: Serve the punch right after mixing to enjoy the sparkling elements at their best. Leftovers can be refrigerated and served later but may lose some carbonation.
Notes
- Make sure all ingredients are chilled to keep the punch bubbly and refreshing.
- Garnishes not only add flavor but also enhance the visual appeal of the punch bowl.
- You can adjust the amount of spiced rum to make the punch stronger or lighter according to your preference.
- This punch is best served fresh to enjoy the sparkling wine and ginger beer’s fizz.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the spiced rum and Prosecco and replace with additional apple cider and ginger beer.
