Time P2DT45m

Yield 12 cocktails

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 750-millileter bottle white rum
5 whole allspice berries
5 whole cloves
1 whole star anise
One 3-inch piece orange zest
1 vanilla bean, split
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 cup sugar
4 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
6 dashes bitters, such as Angostura
4 cups mixed orange slices, lime slices, pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries, plus more for garnish
One 2-liter bottle seltzer
Ice cubes, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Spiced Rum: Remove the cap from the rum bottle and drop the allspice, cloves, star anise, orange zest, vanilla bean and cinnamon stick into the bottle. Reseal and let sit at room temperature for 2 days to up to a week, shaking it once a day.
  • Put 2 cups of ice cubes in an 8-inch square cake pan and layer in half of the fruit. Top with another 2 cups of ice and then the remaining fruit (the ice cubes keep the fruit from sinking to the bottom). Fill with water and freeze until solid, about 6 hours.
  • When ready to serve, combine the sugar with 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Stir together the sugar syrup, orange juice, lime juice and bitters in a large punch bowl. Pour the rum into the punch bowl, through a fine mesh sieve, and discard the spices. Let the ice island sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, unmold and float in the punch.
  • Fill a highball glass with ice cubes pour in 1 cup of punch. Top with about 2 ounces of seltzer and the garnish of your choice.

SPICED PORT PUNCH



Spiced Port Punch image

Port, that gentle, rich and comforting spirit, has a whiff of empire about it. This recipe, a strong, port-based punch, works to counteract the image. It's not too sweet, but rich and spicy. It's an easygoing crowd-pleaser and proof that port and orange get along famously. Consider it for the next time you plan a holiday gathering.

THE OXFORD BISHOP: 19TH CENTURY SPICED MULLED PORT WINE



The Oxford Bishop: 19th Century Spiced Mulled Port Wine image

A lovely Traditional old English recipe by Eliza Acton, a 19th Century Victorian cookery writer of great repute. This unique beverage is also mentioned in "The Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, although in the book it was called Smoking Bishop!! This is a fruity & spiced warm mulled Port Wine drink which brings a glow to your face & warmth to your aching joints, believe me! Just the festive beverage to have after returning from Christmas Midnight Mass or whilst listening to Carols from King's College on Christmas Eve. Also wonderful as a welcome drink for a party or special event. It is easily topped up if extra guests arrive, and I have used wine in the past when the port was finished!
