Time 6h25m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large pumpkin (about 15 pounds)
3 red apples
2 tablespoons whole cloves
12 cups (3 quarts) apple cider
One 750-ml bottle bourbon (about 3 cups)
20 dashes bitters (about 1/2 teaspoon)
Juice of 4 1/2 lemons (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • For the pumpkin: Cut off the top of the pumpkin with a sharp knife. Clean out the seeds and pulp with an ice cream scoop. Insert a tap in the empty pumpkin according to the package directions; set aside. (See Cook's Note).
  • For the punch: Slice the apples into thin rings and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Stud each slice with 5 to 6 whole cloves and then freeze until solid, about 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the apple cider, bourbon, bitters and lemon juice in the cavity of the pumpkin and top with the pumpkin lid. Refrigerate until the pumpkin and the punch inside are well chilled, at least 2 hours. Remove the lid and add the apple slices to the punch and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of sweet and tart apples for a balanced flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Simmer the spices: Simmering the spices in the apple cider helps to extract their flavor. Be sure to use whole spices, as they will provide more flavor than ground spices.
  • Use a good quality bourbon: The bourbon is a key ingredient in this punch, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a bourbon that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit: Garnish the punch with fresh apples, oranges, and cranberries for a festive touch.

Conclusion:

Apple cider and bourbon punch is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for any holiday party. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a special drink to serve, give this apple cider and bourbon punch a try. You won't be disappointed!
