CREAMY APPLE CIDER FLOAT
Had my first hot apple cider float at a fall festival here in western New York. Warm, creamy, and frothy. The mulling spices make it taste like you're drinking a hot cup of apple pie. Once you try it you can't put it down. Vanilla or pumpkin ice cream work best.

- Serve the punch chilled: Serve the punch over ice or in chilled glasses. You can also garnish the punch with apple slices, cinnamon sticks, or nutmeg.
- Add a splash of sparkling water: If you want to make the punch a little more festive, you can add a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale.
- Experiment with different flavors: You can add other flavors to this punch, such as cranberry juice, orange juice, or pineapple juice. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves.
