Holiday Punch - Hot or Cold
Pull out your punch bowl or use a large glass bowl and make a refreshing punch that all of your guests will enjoy. My mother and grandmother always had a wonderful fruity punch at our holiday gatherings. I made one last year that looked so festive! The grandchildren really enjoyed it while the adults enjoyed spiking it! Here are 3 great options as well as a wonderful hot spiced version.
For a cold punch, make sure all the ingredients are cold before combining and
make an ice ring ahead of time with fruit and/or herbs in it and no other ice will be needed.
