Fall Beverage Bar
I always put together a little beverage bar in our dining room and I love to change it up each season. This year I added this cute pumpkin beverage dispenser and some amber glasses I found at Superstore. And since I had a cute fall punch bowl, I needed to come up with a fall punch!
Apple Cider Fall Punch
While I do love apple cider all on its own, sometimes it’s fun to put a little twist on things! This delicious apple cider fall punch is super easy to make with just a few ingredients.
Apple Cider Fall Punch
Ingredients
- 4 cups apple cider, chilled
- 2 cups cranberry cocktail, chilled
- 1 can frozen orange juice, thawed
- 2 cups ginger ale, chilled
- garnish (apple slices, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, etc) optional
Instructions
-
Combine apple cider, cranberry cocktail, and frozen orange juice in a large pitcher or punch bowl. Add ginger ale just prior to serving. Garnish with thinly sliced apples, cranberries, or other garnish.
-
Pour into glasses with ice. Top with additional garnish if needed.
Can you make this fall punch in advance?
Yes! If you want to get a jump start on the recipe, mix the cider, cranberry juice, and orange juice together in a large pitcher or drink dispenser. Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve and then add in the ginger ale and garnishes.
What can I do with the leftovers?
If you have a little bit of punch left and all of the garnishes, you can make up a simmering potpourri. Just add some water, a few cinnamon sticks and bring it all to a boil. Lower the temperature and simmer on low. It smells just as good as it tastes!
Apple Cider Punch Float
If you want to be extra indulgent, try pouring this over some vanilla ice cream for a fun, fall float! Salted caramel ice-cream would also be good!
I hope you get a chance to give this apple cider punch a try!
