Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: Mix together the apple cider and orange juice and store in the fridge up to 1 day in advance. Just before serving, add the sparkling water and fresh fruit.
- Storage: This punch will store well covered tightly in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, although I recommend enjoying it within 24 hours for the best flavor & texture!
- Spiked Apple Cider Option: Turn your punch into a cozy adult beverage with a splash (or two!) of bourbon, white wine, or hard cider. These all would pair nicely with warm fall spices and apple flavor.
- Fruits: Use what you have—pears, pomegranates, or even frozen berries work beautifully. Cinnamon sticks and a sprig of rosemary also work well as a pretty garnish for each glass.
- Extra Fizz: If sparkling water isn’t your thing, feel free to swap it with ginger ale or another soda!
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
