Inspiration
The inspiration for this drink was Thanksgiving and fall flavors, and one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving dinner is cranberry sauce. I wanted to also showcase a punch recipe, easily created in a large batch for holiday gatherings to share with friends and family. Punch is a great addition to any gathering adding a communal vibe to sharing amongst each other. Punch is easily whipped together following the five main ingredients of spirit, sugar, citrus, water, spice.
