Thanksgiving Punch

We’re getting down the wire folks! If you have a large guest list for Thanksgiving (or even if you don’t!) I have a great recipe for a party pleasing punch you can serve! This Thanksgiving Punch is also KID-FRIENDLY! You can find everything you need in one quick trip to the Commissary.

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!
