Apple cider, orange juice and ginger ale are mixed with a hint of cinnamon in this delicious fall punch recipe. Beautiful garnished with fresh sliced apples and oranges.
I love serving fun drink recipes for holidays and parties, and my family has declared this Sparkling Apple Cider Punch their favorite!
It’s delicious any time of year, of course, but especially perfect for Thanksgiving and other fall gatherings. Plus, it uses just a few simple ingredients.
Even better, this punch only takes a minute to stir together. If you opt for a garnish of sliced oranges an apples, you might spend a total of five whole minutes preparing this sparkling beverage.
I have a pretty glass beverage dispenser that I like to use when I’m entertaining, and this punch really looks beautiful with the sliced fruit floating on top. Of course, that’s optional, and the punch tastes delicious without the apple and orange slices.
This is also a great drink for Halloween parties–especially served in cauldron-style punch bowl with some dry ice for that smoky, bubbling effect.
This recipe if proof that sometimes simple tastes best. The first time I tried it, I honestly wasn’t expecting much, given the short list of ingredients.
But the flavors blending perfectly, and my family actually finished this punch off when I served it the first time. Usually I have lots of leftovers.
They even requested it again and Christmas, and everyone agreed it should be our go-to drink for the holiday season.
Although the colors and flavors are perfect for fall holidays, this punch is a hit any time of year. You can always leave out the cinnamon sticks if you’re serving it during warmer weather.
