- ½ gallon Apple Cider
- 1 cup / 8 oz Bourbon
- 1 12 oz bottle Ginger Beer, non-alcoholic
- 1 cup Fresh Cranberries (optional)
- 1 Apple, thinly sliced (optional)
For serving:
- Ice
- Cinnamon sticks (optional)
- Cinnamon Sugar Apple Chips (optional)
Combine apple cider, bourbon, and ginger beer in a large pitcher. Top with cranberries and apple slices.
Fill glasses with ice and pour punch over top. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and apple chips.
I like the flavor of a non-alcoholic ginger beer in this recipe. It adds bubbles and a lightly spicy ginger flavor. Ginger ale is more mild but is a fine substitute.
If you’d like to have a non-alcoholic version available, simply combine the apple cider and ginger beer in a pitcher. After pouring the punch, add a shot of bourbon directly to glasses for those who want it.
