Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 4 cups apple cider
- 2 cups ginger ale
- 1 cup orange juice
Fruit
- 1 apple, thinly sliced
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
Spices and Extras
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Ice cubes, for serving
Instructions
- Combine Liquids: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour in the apple cider, ginger ale, and orange juice. Stir gently to mix all the liquids together evenly and allow the flavors to meld.
- Add Fruit and Spice: Stir in the thinly sliced apple and orange pieces, along with the optional cinnamon. This adds both visual appeal and a subtle depth of flavor to the punch.
- Chill the Punch: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the punch to become refreshingly cold and lets the flavors develop fully.
- Serve Over Ice: When ready to serve, pour the punch over ice cubes in individual glasses. For an adult version, feel free to add a splash of bourbon or spiced rum, and garnish with cinnamon sticks for added flair.
