Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 gala apple
- 1 orange
- 1 lemon
Liquids & Mixers
- 2 cups apple cider (cloudy kind)
- 2 cups ginger ale
- 1 cup whiskey (or bourbon)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Core the gala apple and cut it into small chunks. Slice the orange and lemon into thin wheels, discarding the ends. Place all the prepared fruit into a 2.5-quart pitcher.
- Combine the ingredients: Pour the apple cider, ginger ale, whiskey, and lemon juice into the pitcher with the fruit. Stir gently using a bar spoon or long wooden spoon to blend the flavors evenly.
- Chill the punch: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
- Serve: Pour the chilled punch into individual glasses. Add some apple chunks and a fruit slice into each glass. For a festive touch in fall and winter, garnish with a cinnamon stick.
Notes
- Use cloudy apple cider for a richer, more authentic flavor.
- Substitute bourbon for whiskey if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of whiskey to your taste for a stronger or milder punch.
- Adding a cinnamon stick as garnish complements the seasonal flavors.
- Serve chilled for the best experience.
