Ingredients

1 chilled 25.4-ounce bottle sparkling cider (about 3 1/4 cups)

1 chilled 1-quart bottle cranberry juice cocktail

1 chilled 1-liter bottle club soda or seltzer water

1 cup dark rum if desired For Spice Syrup

2 cinnamon sticks

5 whole cloves

3 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup sugar

Directions

Make spice syrup:

In a small saucepan bring syrup ingredients to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and simmer, covered, 5 minutes.

Let syrup cool.

Syrup can be made 1 week ahead and chilled, kept in a covered container or bottle.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In a punch bowl combine Punch ingredients and strain syrup through a fine sieve or cheese cloth into punch.

Stir punch and add lots of ice.

Makes about 13 cups.

*******************************************

TIP

Dress the punch bowl up with some decorative ice shapes.

You can use food grade plastic gloves to freeze ice for floating hands.

Gloves are available at restaurant supply stores, are made of clear plastic and have no talc on them like latex gloves do.

Fill with water or colored water, juice, etc. and freeze.

When hard, remove glove and float in your punch bowl!

You can also look at specialty stores for ball shaped ice cube trays. Fill with cranberry juice and they become floating blood clots! Eeeeeewww!!
