Christmas Cheer Punch

Fruity and bright with just enough kick from the spiced rum to make it festive, this punch is our go-to holiday libation. Make a double batch so it’s easy to refill the punch bowl when it gets low.

It’s that easy: Ice rings won’t always fit your punch bowl. Especially if using a soup tureen or irregular shape. If you have large round ice cube molds, fill them with cranberries and water and freeze them to add to the punch bowl instead.
