Garnish: Frozen cranberries (about 2 cups), Orange slice (6 slices), Apple slice (6 slices)

Batching tip: mix everything except ice and sparkling mixers up to a few hours ahead and keep it chilled. Pour over fresh ice to serve. Add the bubbly part right before serving so it stays fizzy.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Pour the red wine, ginger ale, cranberry juice, cinnamon whiskey and American whiskey into a punch bowl.

  2. 2

    Stir gently.

  3. 3

    Float the frozen cranberries, orange slices and apple slices on top and ladle into glasses.

Swap it: The frozen cranberries chill the bowl without watering it down. Add the ginger ale just before guests arrive so the punch stays bubbly.
