Hocus Pocus Punch is a magical, crowd-pleasing beverage perfect for autumn parties and Halloween celebrations. This delightful concoction combines crisp apple cider, tangy cranberry juice, fizzy orange seltzer, and a splash of cherry flavor for a spellbinding drink that’s as vibrant as it is refreshing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups apple cider
  • 2 cups cranberry juice
  • 2 (12 ounce) cans orange seltzer
  • 1 cup ginger ale or ginger beer
  • 1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice
  • 2 oranges, sliced
  • 2 apples, sliced
  • 1/3 cup maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the apple cider, cranberry juice, orange seltzer, ginger ale or ginger beer, and maraschino cherry juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
  2. Add in the sliced oranges, sliced apples, and maraschino cherries. These add a festive look and enhance the flavor of the punch.
  3. Stir the punch again before serving. Serve chilled or over ice for the best refreshing experience.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic party drink, use ginger ale. For a more robust ginger flavor, choose ginger beer.
  • Keep the punch refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain freshness.
  • For a spiked version, consider adding a splash of spiced rum or bourbon.
  • Use fresh, ripe apples and oranges for the best taste and presentation.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of cranberry juice or adding a little honey if desired.
