  • 1 orange
  • Cinnamon sticks star anise, clove pods, optional

Instructions

  • In a drink canister or pitcher, combine cider and ginger ale.
  • If the flavor is desired, add cinnamon sticks and spice pods, or sprinkle with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
  • Stir together with wooden spoon before adding fruit.
  • Add cranberries.
  • Using a mandoline, slice apples crosswise (across the middle).

Notes

Note, this is a punch to put together last minute. But it is an easy one to take an assemble onsite at a party. Pack a cutting board, mandoline, and knife with a grocery sack to throw it all in and wash later! Reserve the gallon jug to refill if there are any leftovers.
