Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups fresh apple cider
2/3 cup chilled ginger beer

Steps:

  • Muddle cranberries with sugar in a pitcher. Add apple cider, ginger beer, lemon juice, and gin if desired. Divide among 4 glasses. Serve chilled or over ice.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Cranberries: Fresh cranberries add a tart and tangy flavor to the punch. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them before using.
  • Choose a Good Quality Apple Cider: The apple cider is the base of the punch, so it's important to choose a good quality cider. Look for a cider that is made with 100% apple juice and has no added sugar.
  • Add Spices and Herbs: Spices and herbs can add a lot of flavor to the punch. Some good options include cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and rosemary.
  • Sweeten to Taste: The amount of sugar you add to the punch will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve Warm or Cold: Zena's Cranberry Apple Cider Punch can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, heat it gently over low heat until it's just simmering. If you're serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
