  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 dashes angostura bitters
  • 1½ cups club soda

Garnishes

  • Ice (as needed)
  • Fresh cranberries (for garnish)
  • Apple slices (for garnish)
  • 6 sprigs rosemary (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix the base: In a medium pitcher or large carafe, combine the apple cider, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and 4 dashes of angostura bitters. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly.
  2. Serve over ice: Fill six glasses with ice, then pour the mixed cider and juice blend equally among them.
  3. Add club soda: Top each glass with about 2 ounces of club soda to add fizz and lighten the punch.
  4. Garnish: Decorate each glass with fresh cranberries, apple slices, and a sprig of rosemary for a festive presentation and added aroma.

Notes

  • Use fresh and chilled juices for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of club soda based on your preference for fizz.
  • Angostura bitters add complexity; don’t skip unless avoiding alcohol entirely.
  • This punch is ideal served immediately but can be prepped ahead by mixing the base liquids and refrigerating.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, the bitters can be omitted or replaced with a non-alcoholic aromatic substitute.
