Ingredients:

• 4 cups of Apple Cider
• 64 oz Cranberry Juice
• 1 Orange Juice Concentrate Container
• 2 cups of Pear Juice or Pear Nectar
• Ginger-ale
• Variety of sliced fruits, such as apples, pears, or oranges, if desired

Directions:

• In the drink dispenser, carefully add in the Orange Juice Concentrate.
• Add the Apple Cider and start mixing with the concentrate until fully liquified.
• Pour in the Cranberry Juice and continue mixing.
• Add the Pear Juice or Pear Nectar and stir until fully combined.
• Place sliced fruit to garnish the top of the punch (optional)

To Serve the Kid-Friendly Punch:

• Grab a glass and place a slice of fruit and some ice to your glass.
• Fill the glass 3/4 full, and add in some ginger-ale to top off.
• Stir and serve.

To Serve the Adult Punch:

• Fill your glass with ice.
• Add in 1 shot of whiskey, rum, or bourbon.
• Top with the punch.
• Add a splash of ginger-ale.
• Stir and serve.

Tips:

• It’s really easy to play around with the amounts of juice also. If you want a more apple flavor, you can increase the apple cider and decrease the cranberry juice.
• You can even add cinnamon sticks to your drink dispenser OR to your glass as a stirrer.
• I thought I was using an orange, but it was actually a grapefruit, but you could use oranges, apples, and other amazing fruits of your choice to garnish in the drink dispenser and/or the glasses.

I love all the fall flavors this punch as to offer. This is a favorite drink in our home at Thanksgiving and I hope you will enjoy it as well! I hope you have a GREAT and HAPPY Thanksgiving! As always, please drink responsibly!

All you need is:

• Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
• Cranberry juice, I used a blend of cranberry, blackberry, and blueberry. Gotta get those antioxidants in!
• Ginger ale or Ginger beer. I had Cranberry Ginger ale which made it even more festive!
• A couple of cranberries for decoration, totally optional though!

In a glass full of ice, add a shot (one ounce) of the rum. I really like spiced rum, especially this time of year. The spiced flavor is very warming and delicious! Add two shots (two ounces) of the cranberry/berry juice.

Top with another two shots or two ounces of your ginger ale. I love the tartness of this cranberry ginger ale. It’s so different! Ginger beer would also be great to cut through the sweetness of the juice. Give it a stir and top with a few cranberries, if desired. So tasty!

The spiced rum with the cranberry and berry flavors are pair deliciously with the holidays. Plus, it’s pretty!

You can easily make this Berry Rum Fizz into a party punch! Simply keep your 1:2:2 ratio of rum, juice, and ginger ale. For example, add to your punchbowl or pitcher, 2 cups of juice, 2 cups of ginger ale and 1 cup of rum. If that’s too strong, start with 1/2 cup of rum and adjust to your liking! You could also keep the rum separate so it’s a punch of everyone at the party to enjoy! So easy!

You can even freeze the cranberries into the ice cubes or use the frozen berries as ice cubes! A nice little holiday touch for your guests.
