We make this every Christmas, and it's a favorite with friends and family. Sometimes I vary the juices - you can use cranberry instead of cherry, or cranapple juice instead of apple cider.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 qt apple cider
1 qt cherry cider or juice
2 juice oranges
4 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp whole cloves

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together the ciders/juices in a large kettle over medium heat.
  • 2. Peel the zest off one orange in large strips. Place zest, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a double square of cheesecloth, and tie tightly. Place spice bag into the cider mixture.
  • 3. Heat the cider to serving temperature - like hot coffee or tea (do not boil). Barely simmer the punch for about 15 minutes.
  • 4. Juice the orange and add the juice to the cider. Halve and slice the remaining orange and float the slices on top of the hot punch. Serve hot with an orange slice and cinnamon stick if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality red wine. A full-bodied red wine with a fruity flavor is ideal. Some good options include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Pinot Noir.
  • Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your punch the best flavor. Choose a variety of fruits that you enjoy, such as oranges, lemons, limes, cranberries, and apples.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make hot Christmas punch. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find a combination that you like.
  • Make a big batch. Hot Christmas punch is a great drink to serve at parties or gatherings. Make a big batch so that you have plenty to share.
  • Garnish your punch. A simple garnish can make your punch look more festive. Try adding a cinnamon stick, a star anise, or a slice of orange to each glass.

Conclusion:

Hot Christmas punch is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can make a hot Christmas punch that will be enjoyed by everyone.
