They are set up so you can choose what works for your table.

Helpful Tips Before You Start

These tips will keep your punches cold, flavorful, and easy to serve at the party.

Use Frozen Fruit Cubes

Freeze juice or fruit pieces in ice trays the night before. They chill the punch without diluting the flavor.

Prep Garnishes Ahead

Cut citrus wheels or thread plastic spiders on straws the day before. This keeps setup quick on party day.

Make a Non Alcoholic Batch

Set aside half the recipe without spirits. Guests with kids or who skip alcohol will still have an option.

Add a Clear Label

Place a small sign by each bowl that lists the main ingredients and notes if it contains alcohol.

Ingredients

  

• 4 cups apple cider

• 3 cinnamon sticks
